Several peer group meetings continue

The Chamber facilitates several peer groups for members seeking to engage with other members. Currently, we have the Health Council, the Manufacturers’ Coalition and the Insurance Committee. Each is comprised of individuals and companies in their industry from Northwest Connecticut.

Meetings focus on specific areas of interest including employee recruitment and retention, workforce development, on-the job training programs and grants, legislative updates, facility tours, sharing of best practices and more.

To be added to one of these peer groups, or to start one in another industry, call us at 860-4826586.
