Women At Lunch Networking

A monthly luncheon where women can come to network, make new connections, and talk about their business.

There’s a brand new program at the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce this year:
Women At Lunch Networking. This is a monthly luncheon held at one of our chamber member
establishments where women can come to network, make new connections, talk about their
business, and sample cuisine at one of our many member restaurants, hotels and cafes.

It is a great way to get to know your chamber colleagues in an informal relaxed setting, said Chamber Membership Director Linda Vissat. Luncheons are targeted to fellow women in businesses who want to expand their business connections, network with other women, and learn more about other chamber members. The program was launched in August of 2016 and has consistently had between 30-35 women in attendance each month and the numbers are growing! In addition, registration is now open to non-chamber members and guests, providing an excellent way for potential new members to meet and interact with other women. Attendees are asked to introduce themselves and share business cards.

"I love the women luncheons! said Mary Kay Independent Senior Sale Director Rhona George. "I love seeing all the women I know and meeting new ones. Since I have customers, it often reminds them that they need something and so I often get orders. The more opportunities I get to see people, the better. I also like trying new places for lunch."
