The Chamber Referral Teams are formed by local business owners and employees, with no more than one member from any given industry. The goal of the teams is to help generate business referrals for others within the group.
The system is ideal for small businesses working to establish themselves and for business looking to expand and generate new contacts. Businesses are always in need of collaboration and support services. Referral Teams help identify fellow Gilbert Chamber of Commerce members that might be interested in working together.
- The ‘Greater Gilbert Referral Team’ meets every Tuesday morning from 7:30 am – 8:30 am
