Chamber Members host these networking evenings. They share their products, services, and news with other Chamber Members. It is a great way to connect or catch up with businesses in the community. These evenings are tentatively scheduled for the last Thursday of the month (based on Host’s availability). Hosts are responsible for providing the facilities and refreshments, the Chamber will advertise via the radio, newspaper, reader board, newsletter and website. The Host receives extra recognition on the website as well as a special feature article in the newsletter to share their business information with those that were not able to attend. If you are not able to host a Business2Business Event, you can sponsor refreshments and prizes that will be given out on those evenings.

COMMUNITY BUSINESS MEETINGS
The Greater Goldendale Area Chamber of Commerce began hosting “Let’s Talk Goldendale” in partnership with the Klickitat County Economic Development Department. These open community discussions resulted in great things during 2008 including the Get Acquainted publication by The Goldendale Sentinel, the Goldendale Regional Home & Garden Show, and the enhancement of 2nd Thursday, just to name a few. This year the Chamber will continue these meetings on a quarterly basis so be looking for more information!
