More than 100 members packed the Canyon Clubhouse at Forest Highlands on June 10th for the second quarterly Good Morning Flagstaff Power Networking Breakfast.

Bill McGrath, JCPenney -
"TERRIFIC! I was VERY impressed, even more so than the last time. Amazing that so many of Flagstaff business leaders want such a great networking opportunity, and everyone was in such a positive, outgoing mood! Those that missed this breakfast mixer missed an opportunity to meet 25-30 new business contacts. From the entertainment to the speakers, to the overall organization, this was a class event. I’m honored to be associated with this Chamber and the business community in Flagstaff. And my closing encouragement, passed on to everyone at my tables, was 'SHOP FLAGSTAFF FIRST!'"

Take advantage of a long-running, successful networking program designed specifically for women. Have you ever wondered how to meet ladies in the professions or businesses about town? The Flagstaff Chamber makes it easier
for you with monthly Women in Business luncheons the second Tuesday of every month at the Radisson Woodlands Hotel. Businesswomen enjoy lunch, fellowship, a guest speaker and networking activities that are sure to build business relationships.
One of the finer arts of networking applies the old adage "you must give to receive." This month's activity will focus on building your business by referral. With a group of nearly 50 women attending this luncheon on a regular basis professional relationships have been established. However, in relation to networking the goal is to develop relationships that ultimately develop business. It's word of mouth marketing. The key is making others feel so good about you and your business that they market you when you're not even there! So, be sure to bring plenty of business cards and a well-defined 30-second sizzle about your business. It's going to be a fun and professionally productive day!
