Chamber Events & Networking Opportunities
Here are just a few of the myriad opportunities available to you. Land deals while enjoying a round of golf, meet new contacts while volunteering as a Chamber Partner, showcase your products and services at Sarasota Prime Time, or take advantage of these other opportunities.
Annual Kick-Off Breakfast
This annual event is a great opportunity for 600 early bird movers and shakers to hear The Chamber's exciting plans and initiatives for the year. It also offers great networking opportunities and is always a sell-out so register early.
Annual Membership Meeting and Luncheon
This is The Chamber's annual meeting and installation of new officers. A quality networking event, the luncheon attracts more than 700 business people-and it's not unusual for deals to be made between salad and dessert.
Chamber Partners
Chamber Partners are volunteers who mentor new members, provide goodwill calls, and serve as the official hospitality committee at many Chamber events. If you are interested in meeting fellow Chamber members, join the Partners.
Golf Outings
Chamber members hit the links at the annual Chamber Golf Classic for a day of first-class golf and networking. Lunch, dinner, cocktails and prizes round out the day. There's no better way to make contacts and land deals than while enjoying a round of golf. Additionally, there is also an annual golf outing exclusively for Chamber Trustees and Leadership Sarasota County alumni.
