Connect and grow

Year-round networking

Morning network events — on the second Friday of each month, join a no-cost morning gathering at a member location to meet new people and build relationships.

After-hours events — on the third Thursday of each month, members host relaxed “after-hours” gatherings that showcase a local business.

Celebrating our members

Throughout the year we celebrate the growth and success of local businesses — ribbon cuttings, grand openings, a new-member lunch, and a promotional e-blast to more than 2,000 people in the community.

We also champion members through government affairs, monitoring issues that matter to Farmington Valley businesses at the local and state level.
