Events for March 2020
Calhoun County Area Chamber & Visitors Center
Feb 15 - May 15    LCC Alumni Dues
Each year, graduates of the Leadership Calhoun County program give back by paying dues to fund Youth Leadership Calhoun County. These dues pay for 32 students from Calhoun County to receive the same benefits, friendships, and knowledge they themselves received through the Chamber's superb leadership programming. Their dues also support future leaders by funding two $2,000 scholarships to graduates of the YLCC program who will be attending an in-state accredited college or university.

Mar 17    CANCELLED - Business After Hours
Based on recommendations from local health officials, Business After Hours will not be held during the month of March. 

What is a Business After Hours?

A Business After Hours is a social/networking event which is held the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Our Business After Hours give you the chance to visit a Chamber member business and network with other business leaders. You will have the opportunity to introduce yourself to other members, exchange business cards, make new business contacts, win door prizes, and enjoy refreshments.

Do I have to stay the whole time?
No, you can come and go as you please. This open house event offers networking opportunities to everyone no matter their schedule. Come at 5:30 p.m. and plan to stay for an hour or come at 6:00 p.m. and stay just a few minutes. We understand that everyone has families and commitments to attend to, but, just a few minutes at a Business After Hours may mean a new business contact for you.
