HOST - Home Office Support Team

HOST is the Home Office Support Team. We promote and support local home based businesses, small businesses and entrepreneurs in their personal and business growth. We meet monthly on the second Friday of every month and have an active program of guest speakers, events and networking. The first and last 1/2 hr of our meetings is dedicated to open networking. Come out and meet our growing, vibrant group of professionals who, like you, are facing the many challenges and opportunities of business ownership. Cost of attending a meeting is $15 (cash or cheque) at the door, or $10 with a five-meeting pass. HOST is the most active and affordable business networking group in Victoria. Come to HOST and enjoy!
