Happy and healthy holidays to all! Great things are happening at the Orange Chamber of Commerce. There are so many opportunities for members to network and connect, to contribute to the well-being of the community, grow your business and bottom line, learn something new, have a voice, save time and money and get noticed.
The first available opportunity is the 2020 Health & Wellness EXPO at Planet Fitness in Orange. Participating businesses will have a table and be in front of hundreds of people trying to get fit and healthy after the holidays. Planet Fitness offers the perfect venue to promote your business; the state-of-the-art fitness center is a huge space for chamber members to promote their business.
The chamber is planning a State of the Town Breakfast in March along with a joint after hour’s event with the Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce at the Orange Ale House.
On April 7, the Women in Business networking group of the Orange and West Haven chambers will hold their Annual Women’s Leadership Conference at the Italian American Club in West Haven. Last year over 200 students and businesswomen attended this motivating event and listened to the career stories of three successful businesswomen. We are looking for both speakers and sponsors for this event, which enables this group to hand out four scholarships to area female high school seniors.
On May 2, the Orange Chamber will hold the eighth Cohen and Wolf Cinco de Mayo 5K Run and one mile walk. Sign up at RunSignUp.com . We are seeking vendors for the event as well as t-shirt sponsors.
The Orange Chamber is always looking to promote and help grow local business and encourages area businesses and professionals to join our great chamber. Did you know that 80 percent of customers prefer to do business with chamber members?
