Membership to the local chapter is advantageous for business owners not only for networking but meeting topics are informative and timely of interest to local business owners. This fall meeting speakers will be speaking on the local and national political climate as well as the importance of understanding the difference between a cycle and a trend. Meetings are on the fourth Wednesday at the Embassy Suites, RTP.
