Susan Williams and Kat Thompson recently attended a chamber meeting and networking mega-mixer at Seven Springs Resort. In the afternoon meeting, leaders from Western Pennsylvania shared best practices and tapped into each other’s expertise for advice. They were joined at the mixer by businesses from more than 25 chambers.

So, why travel more than two hours to network with businesses outside our region? Williams shares: “We all do business on a much broader level now and often meet someone that will be helpful to us or one of our members. Kat and I have had several follow up meetings with those we met, who provide services that could be to our benefit. Additionally, this was a great chance to practice our in-person networking skills, which have been a bit rusty over the last couple years.”

The Mega Mixer is anticipated to be held again in January of 2023 and Venango Chamber members will be invited to attend.
