Connect
Although this is a fast-growing area, business still happens with a handshake, so making personal connections with other business leaders, potential customers, and current patrons is essential in the "small town" atmosphere of this big business area.
The Chamber provides multiple networking events each month that members can not only attend but host, allowing them to showcase their talents and the uniqueness of their business on a personal level. Connections are also created through various committees of volunteers, who welcome new business members to the Brainerd Lakes Area and serve as greeters at the many Chamber events.
