Do you feel that Chamber members support each other by either direct referral or first choice business to business partnering? If no, what ways would you like Chamber members to support each other?

• I definitely feel that Chamber members are great about referring business to each other.

• I think that some of the members do not know what other members' businesses offer. Possibly a few speed networking opportunities would allow businesses to relay what they do, offer, and are looking for.
