The Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism is pleased to announce the expansion of its premier networking group, WomenConnect. Starting in March, two events will be added to the schedule, giving local businesswomen even more opportunities to connect and share valuable business insights.
In addition to the monthly luncheon group that currently meets at Hampstead’s Nineteen Restaurant, a second luncheon meeting will be held at Rick’s Restaurant in Sneads Ferry.
“We’re thrilled to launch a new WomenConnect group in Sneads Ferry, starting in March on the first Tuesday of each month,” said Tammy Proctor, Director of the Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism. “This group will complement our existing luncheon at Nineteen Restaurant, which takes place on the second Thursday of each month, ensuring there are networking opportunities for women no matter their schedule or location.”
For women who prefer morning meetings, the Chamber will also expand its popular Mornings with WomenConnect series. Currently, a morning group meets at Southern Roots Grille in Holly Ridge at 7:30 a.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month. A second morning group will now meet at Taste of Sunrise Coffee House in Hampstead, also at 7:30 a.m. on the first Thursday of each month.
“We’re always looking for opportunities to provide more flexible options for our members,” Proctor continued. “With our large coverage area, which spans coastal Pender County and parts of Onslow County, we believe adding these events will make it easier for local women to attend meetings closer to their place of business. They’ll now have the opportunity to network multiple times per month.”
