What is a Networking Cluster?
 
The Chamber has established several unique networking groups that we refer to as Networking Clusters.  Each of the Clusters are composed of businesses that have a natural affinity for providing each other with businesse referrals and joint marketing.
 
Each Cluster establishes it's own rules, programs, meeting agenda, and generally meets on a weekly basis, on a day and time agreed to by the members. Dues are established by the cluster, and includes lunch or breakfast
 
Membership in each cluster is generally limited to one business per business category, unless the existing member consents to another like-for-like business joining. Chamber members may belong to more than one Cluster, however, if another Chamber member in the same business wants to participate, one of the slots will have to be given up by the member in more than one cluster.
 
Each Networking Cluster includes members that are not “specific” to the Cluster industry, but bring value to the Cluster based on the services or products they offer the other members.  These businesses are typically ones that conduct business on a broader basis, such as printers, specialty item and other advertising businesses, and sign and banner manufacturers, being just a few examples.
 
There are currently five such Clusters:
     1. Senior Services Business Council
     2. Health & Wellness Associates
     3. Events & Entertainment Affiliates
     4. Home Improvement, Construction & Real Estate Associates
     5. Technology Associates
