Networking
The Chamber hosts in-person and virtual networking and community visibility events. All events are free or low-cost. The virtual BIPOC Business Roundtable is on the last Tuesday of every month from 11 am-12 pm. This roundtable allows BIPOC businesses, regardless of Chamber membership or ssBIPOC membership, to convene and discuss wants and needs.
If you are a BIPOC business that would like to join the BIPOC Business Roundtable, email Marquita at mhimes@thurstonchamber.com.
If you would like to present information relevant to small business owners at a BIPOC Business Roundtable, email Marquita mhimes@thurstonchamber.com.
