Prior to the Coronavirus stay-at-home restrictions, the SACC offered Business Before Hours in-person on the first and third Mondays of each month. This free program adds value to your Chamber membership as you can:

• increase your visibility in the business community

   

• engage other professionals through structured networking and exchanging warm referrals

   

• strengthen and enhance your business relationships

   

• stay current with SACC events and business news

   

The SACC is now offering Virtual Business Before Hours via Zoom during the Coronavirus stay-at-home restrictions.  Kick off your work week (whatever that looks like now!) by connecting with fellow Chamber representatives to share motivation and strategies for adapting to the challenges and opportunities in this new “(ab)normal.”  

All current members and their guests are welcome to attend BBH.  

For more information about Virtual Business Before Hours, please contact Cathy Diekmann, Director of Membership Services at cdiekmann@salisburyarea.com

Join the Dorchester Young Professionals and the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce (SACC) Young Professionals virtually as we discuss the most relevant issues related to COVID-19.

Special guests will be Julia Glanz, Interim City of Salisbury Mayor, and Victoria Jackson-Stanley, Mayor of Cambridge.

Young professionals are having a bit of an identity moment right now. Some, newly graduated, and are facing down an economic recession paired with the vulnerabilities that come with being early in their careers. Some are back at home with family, caught between independence and dependence. And we are all more isolated than usual, trying to figure out how to continue shining at work when no one is physically in the office.

Whatever you are going through right now, your Young Professionals community is here for you. This is an opportunity to connect, receive and give support, and learn ways to thrive during this COVID-19 pandemic. Our moderators bring their experience to the table to support you. There will be time for questions and answers, followed by networking at the end for participants to continue conversations and make connections with other Chamber members.

Once registered, you will receive the Zoom meeting information.
