Livingston Business Network

Livingston Business Network is a program introduced so that local businesses could build a network of business peers. By participating, businesses grow their list of contacts in business. Participants of the program develop relationships that result in better business and business growth.

Livingston Business Network offers your business a seat at the table. We believe developing a network makes you and your business stronger. You have the opportunity to teach others about your industry and learn about theirs. By doing so, your business becomes the first thought when your peers are looking for your products or services.

Smaller groups mean more opportunity to engage directly with individuals in the room. We hear this again and again as a reason this program is valued.

Groups are formed by a core group of professionals. There can be more than one group within the Chamber. Each group is limited to one representative per corresponding industry. There are 6 - 25 members in each group. Through this network, relationships and trust are built resulting in referrals and recommendations which ultimately lead to business development and growth.
