The Greater Fayetteville Chamber is starting to reintroduce some in-person events.
Taking extra precautions during the pandemic, the chamber has offered events and meetings over Zoom during the past year.
From 8-9:30 a.m. on June 8, the Chamber’s Business Network Breakfast, which is their most popular event, will be in person at Fayetteville Technical Community College’s Tony Rand Student Center.
The event is open to Chamber members and offers a networking opportunity for businesses of any size. Attending is free, but participants must register. The event is capped at 60 participants this month.
The speakers for this event are Amy Cannon, county manager for Cumberland County, and Doug Hewett, city manager for the City of Fayetteville. They will have a joint presentation to update attendees on projects within the community.
The event is sponsored by On-After Pub & Grub.
The Chamber’s Business Network Breakfast will be located at 2220 Hull Road in Fayetteville. Please be prepared to follow the college’s precautionary measures; FTCC personnel may check the temperatures of attendees and the event will follow social distancing guidelines.
