We have some exciting news! In order to expand the reach of the Chamber and support the chamber’s mission, a Young Professionals Group has been formed and is set to kick off in September.

  • No cost to join/participate as long as their business/employer is a part of the WBLA Chamber of Commerce
The first happy hour will be held on Thursday, September 15th at 4:30PM at Sak's Sports Bar. All are welcome and the only cost is for your food/beverage. Registration is required. We hope to see you all there!
