Business After Hours is an informal, after-work gathering for Chamber members, prospective members and guests. It's an opportunity to network with other businesspeople, exchange ideas, gather business leads and make referrals — and have a little fun at the same time.

General admission is $50; the member rate is $10 pre-registered (even when paying at the door) or $15 for walk-ins. Money-back guarantee if not satisfied.

Member Bring a Member: A prospective member attending as the guest of a member gets in free (one time only). It's a great way to dip your toes into the Chamber's networking activities, one of the most important things we do.

If you're not taking advantage of the networking opportunities we offer, you're not getting the most of your membership, simple as that. And we're a cheap date.
