Things start quickly with Young Professionals hosting a “Networking Social” on the 1st. Free for members and priced at a very reasonable $5 for non-members, this is a great chance to gain new contacts for those who are willing to bring a good supply of business card printing. Although the costs are obviously within range for most, organizers are still looking to use this event as a means of supporting various non-profit organizations.
For this upcoming gathering, attendees are asked to bring practical items for the Women’s Resource Center like:
“Nonperishable Foods such as: Macaroni & Cheese; Peanut Butter; Jelly; Canned Meat (Tuna/Chicken/Ham); Soup; Cereal; Hamburger Helper; Skillet Meals; Canned Fruit; Spaghetti Pasta and Personal Care Items such as: Shampoo; Conditioner; Deodorant; Body Wash; Toothpaste/Toothbrushes.” (sic.)
After this, the chamber will be hosting a 2012 Biz Ed 101 event that’s been called “Hiring Tactics: How to Get the Right Person for the Job” on the 6th. Starting at 11:00 am and expected to conclude at 1:00 pm, business owners and managers can hear what speakers have to say on the topic of talent recruitment and hiring.
All this is without mentioning the Networking at Noon meet-up that’s being held later in the month on March 20th. With so much going on, Brandon business owners can accomplish quite a lot this month.
