Each year we host this special Business Networking Luncheon to provide our chamber-member nonprofits an opportunity to showcase their organizations to other chamber members.
For our for-profit members, this is a great place to network with nonprofit leaders from across the region -- to look for volunteer and contribution opportunities AND to connect to do with business with them.
Our keynote speaker at this luncheon is Fred Edwards, President and COO of Goulston Technologies. He will speak to attendees about Goulston Gives, his company's community engagement initiative. In addition, Fred will discuss why community engagement is important to the culture of his company and the impact it has on employees.
This is historically one of our best attended monthly luncheons.
