Coffee Club is the number one informal networking group in Central Florida designed to help you grow you and your business. The free event is hosted by the East Orlando Chamber of Commerce and facilitated by Gege Venant, Membership Director for the EOCC. There are no attendance requirements to join the group and thanks to Fairwinds Credit Union, its FREE to attend! The group began in January 2007 and consistently attracts 50 - 70 local business owners weekly to network and learn from our expert presenters.

Each week we use different "ice breakers" to help meet and network various people at the group.

Finally, Coffee Club has speakers each week to help provide small business owners with educational information on a wide range of small business topics to help them succeed professionally and personally.

Chamber Membership as a Business Strategy

Joining the chamber is a good thing to do, but what exactly does an active chamber membership say about your company? Does it tell consumers that your business is reputable, that it cares about its customers, that it is involved in the community, or that it uses good business practices?

The Results

The results show that being active in the local chamber of commerce is a good strategy for businesses to use in communicating each of the four specific company traits. Statistically, it is an effective way to convey to consumers that a company uses good business practices, is involved in the community, cares about customers, and is reputable—regardless of whatever they may or may not already think about the company.
