Back with us on this episode is David Polakowski, President/CEO, TriVillage Chamber Partnership.

The Tri-Village Chamber Partnership is a great opportunity to network with business leaders throughout Central Ohio, all are welcome! Watch the TVCP events page for details https://business.chamberpartnership.org/events

If you are outside of the Tri-Village and/or Central Ohio area, here are some ideas on where to network:

Check your nearest Chamber of Commerce (see links below to find local chambers) for their networking opportunities –you may not have to be a member to attend, although there could be a fee.

Think about volunteering with a local organization of professionals. Here in Central Ohio, we have 2 groups to check:

Columbus Gives Back https://columbusgivesback.org/ or BESA https://www.besa.org/

Check local nonprofits that provide networking events. In Central Ohio you may want to check

Networking Professionals of Columbus https://www.networkingprofessionalsofcolumbus.com/

Columbus Young Professionals Group https://www.cypclub.com/

EVOLE Women’s Networking https://www.evolvewomensnetwork.com

Check online event groups like MeetUp www.meetup.com

Google is a great resource to find your local organizations!
