Member Events
Chamber Members have a variety of opportunities through their membership to connect and build community with their fellow entrepreneurs, Business owners, and organizers. Each month, members have access to two free events: After Hours (casual business networking) and First Light Insights (business training and educational speaker series).
Monthly Events
First Light Insights
Our First Light Insights is a FREE event at the beginning of each month that focuses on business training and educational speaker series to help local businesses and organizations
First Light Insights events are usually held on the first Tuesdays of the month, with exceptions, from 8:00am to 9:00am.
A special thank you to our sponsors Dude’s Donuts and Pegasus Coffee for providing our attendees with coffee and donuts to enjoy alongside conversation.
After Hours
After Hours is a FREE business networking event hosted at a different chamber member’s venue at the end of each month. This event gives our local business and nonprofit community a space to catch up, connect, and share news about their work with one another.
After Hours events are usually held on the third Thursday of the month, with exceptions, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm.
A special thank you to our sponsors Bainbridge Brewing and Eleven Winery for providing our guests with locally produced refreshments at these events.
Quarterly Events
Entrepreneur Meet Up
As thrilling as the entrepreneurial journey is, it can also be a lonely and confusing one. But you don't have to go it alone! There are many in our membership and beyond who would love to share their experiences, advice, ideas, and stories.
Each quarter, we invite entrepreneurs to congregate at Sisters' Cider House and connect with fellow startups and small businesses for an unstructured happy hour.
This event is FREE and open to ALL community members.
Thank you to Matchstick Lab for partnering with us to make this event happen!
Annual Events
Annual Meeting
In lieu of our November After Hours gathering, our Chamber community gathers for our Annual Meeting. In keeping with our mission to serve as local business advocates and community connectors, we focus our Annual Meeting on how we as a business community show up and step up to maintain healthy economic ecosystems. Each Annual Meeting, we reflect on our past year, honor businesses that have stepped up big for the Chamber and for our community, and look to see how we can continue to grow in the years to come.
