The Greater Niles Chamber offers a diverse range of networking and education opportunities that are a complimentary benefit to its members. All three of these monthly series run from February to November. Check out our Chamber Event Page for specific times, dates and locations.
The best networking event in the region is the Chamber Buzz presented by Everwise Credit Union. Come hungry for the five-star breakfast, but stay for the fellowship and presentations by area non-profits. The Chamber Buzz is a great way for our corporate partners to learn about the different organizations that serve the community and how they can give back with their time and resources. Attendees also hear from local elected officials, school administrators and other key community figures about big news in the region. Chamber Buzz is where new members get acclimated and prospective members can come check out the chamber scene.
The Lunch & Learn series presented by Southwestern Michigan College is where our members learn about best practices and the resources available to them at the local, state, and federal levels. While this content is primarily aimed to support our Human Resource and talent managers, all our welcome. Be sure to register, because space is limited and this series typically fills up fast. Many of our attendees are responsible for coordinating staff events and need catering options, so this series features our local chamber members who do catering. Attendees are fed very well at this event as a result.
The Third Thursday series presented by the Leadership Tap is a more casual networking opportunity where chambers members get to experience the fun locations around town and get to know each other beyond the name tag. The most often comment heard at a Third Thursday is, “I have never been here before. This place is great!” These exclusive chamber events make getting involved more than just a work event, but often a place where friendships are started.
