We want to make it EASIER for our members to connect with Fenton Chamber staff and fellow members, as well as meeting fellow business owners near them that they may not meet at other events. With each of these IYN events, we will target a specific "neighborhood" location by choosing a meeting place for breakfast or lunch and then we will personally invite members and non-members, within close distance of that location, to attend.
