The Hood River County Chamber of Commerce plans to continue its networking events in 2015 to help the local business community get together and connect with each other. Business After Hours will continue the second Thursday of every other month, and the Coffee Clatters will continue the third Friday morning of every month. The Chamber’s Matt Werbach says networking can be challenging for small businesses, and as social media changes there is still nothing to replace face-to-face opportunities. Werbach notes the Chamber is beginning to plan for its annual Small Business Showcase in March. Information on the Hood River Chamber’s various networking events is available on-line at hoodriver.org.
