The Monroe Chamber of Commerce is happy to present the sixth annual Meet Monroe, the town’s largest business exposition, open to the public. This showcase will be held on Thursday, April 23, 2015 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at the The Waterview, 215 Roosevelt Drive in Monroe.

Mirroring the Chamber’s excitement to showcase the best Monroe has to offer, Newtown Savings Bank has, for the sixth year in a row, committed its support as Title Sponsor of the event. Brendan McKeon, Monroe Chamber of Commerce President, expresses his appreciation to Newtown Savings Bank, “I would like to extend my deepest gratitude towards Newtown Savings Bank. They have shown exemplary generosity and a commitment to our economic community that is unmatched. Meet Monroe is the perfect venue for the community to experience first-hand all that Monroe has to offer.”

For those who have not yet heard of this notable event, Meet Monroe is an annual, unique business showcase in which the community can meet local business owners one-on-one and explore the great products and services offered throughout Monroe. Meet Monroe is an excellent opportunity for local businesses and residents of Monroe to connect on a personal level within an informal, fun atmosphere.

The event kicks off with a business-to-business Sponsor’s Luncheon at 12:30pm. All business professionals are encouraged to attend this networking opportunity. The Chamber is presenting keynote speaker, Bryan Atherton, President, Broker and Chief Executive Officer of Atherton & Associates. Bryan is a well-respected business leader within the Monroe community and is regarded as a regional leader in all aspects related to Commercial Real Estate. His presentation is titled “Smart Growth for 2015 & Beyond.” This Sponsors’ Reception has a $15 charge for current Chamber members and a $20 charge for non-members and includes a delectable lunch featuring an upscale New York street cart style experience. Registration is required for this event.

The trade show opens to the public at 4:00pm and proves to be one of the most engaging showcases the Chamber has generated thus far. Guests should try to arrive as early as possible, as the first two hundred visitors will receive a chance to “Win for Life” with a free scratch off ticket. This year the Chamber is thrilled to announce some new features of the business expo, including a Career Fair where residents can bring their resumes and speak one-on-one with local business owners looking to hire employees. Of course, what’s a business showcase without food? A number of local restaurants will provide free food samples, beer and wine tasting throughout the afternoon.
