Went to a planning meeting and the plan broke out
Twenty business owners got to know each other and the networking and understanding was better than any business after hours I have attended. The conversations between the members who previously had never met each other looked like a college homecoming lunch.
I have no idea whether all these groups will produce a remarkable marketing plan for the chamber. I do know that if they just have meeting like this every month, the chamber will do just fine.
Sometimes just getting people together and asking their opinion is all you need to build connections.
