Connect is a dynamic networking program exclusively for chamber members, designed to foster meaningful, professional relationships with non-competing business leaders in our community. Expand your network, gain new perspectives, or deepen your engagement with local professionals through Connect!

Connect Groups
We offer a variety of groups tailored to different interests and professional stages:

  • General Business – Open to all industries, age groups, and demographics
  • Young Professionals – For emerging leaders and professionals under 40
  • Women in Business – For women business owners and operators
  • Organizations Serving People with Special Needs – For leaders and organizations supporting this vital community

How It Works

  • Groups are formed as soon as enough applications are received.
  • Each group averages 10–12 participants, creating a comfortable environment that allows for stronger connections.
  • Every group has a facilitator and may include an educational component, tailored to the interests of its members.
  • Participation fee is $129 participation, due upon assignment. Applicants that can’t meet at the arranged day/times will have first opportunity for the next forming group.

TESTIMONIALS:

"I can attest this is a great forum to learn more about our great businesses in the community and expand relationships! John Fahey, Great Planes Windows and Doors.

"Connect provides a great opportunity to establish authentic relationships with other members of the Woodbury Chamber. It's a great way to establish authentic personal and professional relationships with local businesses. I've already learned some great tips and tricks to improve productivity," said Elizabeth Neyens Attorney at Law at Neyens Law PLLC.

"Connect has been a great way to bond with other Woodbury Chamber businesses on a personal level.  I have gained a deeper understanding of what each business has to offer and how we can assist one another.  When we meet biweekly, you never know what we will learn about each other - personally and professionally!  It is a great opportunity to share skills such as time management, digital marketing, resources, social media, etc. to help us flourish even more with our businesses.  I am grateful to be a part of such a wonderful and inspirational group!" said Caroline Cadalbert, Marketing Director at Boulder Ponds Senior Living.

"The Chamber Connect Group is the best networking tool I have found! It has allowed me to make meaningful connections with people who then introduce me to more people! I’m always a bit uncomfortable going to networking events where I will walk into a room full of people I don’t know, but today I attended the Chamber Lunch and Learn and realized I knew multiple people.  It is so fun to see this “spider-web” of connections slowly grow!"
