Other ways to get involved
IT'S JUST NETWORKING GROUPS
The It's Just Networking groups are a BNI-style networking group that meets once a month. These groups are industry exclusive so we only have one person from a particular business category. These meetings are designed for members to gain connections, trust, and referrals. We currently have 3 networking groups - One meets on the 1st Tuesday of the month at 11:30 am, One meets on the 1st Thursday of the month at 8:30 am, and one meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 8:30 am.
The goal of the group is to increase our group's production through referrals and introductions. The philosophy is to Give to Live - if "I give" referrals to the members of my group, in return, they will want to give referrals to me.
The mission is to directly contribute to the economic development of the Creve Coeur Olivette area by increasing potential business and profits of CCO Chamber Member businesses/organizations through structured, non-competitive, relational networking and the exchange of referrals and leads.
