Business Growth & Networking
Business Exchange Network
Structured Networking for Business Growth and Professional Development
The Business Exchange Network (BEN) provides a structured forum where Chamber Members can increase their business by networking with other members regularly and through business referrals. Every BEN member presents a 30-second introduction at each meeting, enabling them to hone their "elevator pitch" to perfection. BEN members are also invited to make a periodic 10-minute presentation to the group.
BEN provides a supportive environment that allows each member to share products or services with others who want to help them succeed.
Participation in BEN is limited to one member in any given business category or specialty, meaning once you join, a competitor of yours cannot join. BEN members agree to follow specific guidelines designed to maximize the profitability and success of the program and its members. 
For more information, see the BEN Rules & Commitment Form or contact the Chamber at tony.vedda@LGBTQChamber.com.
