Did you know August is National Wellness Month? ​It focuses on self-care, managing stress and promoting healthy routines. We believe every day should be wellness day, but with our busy schedules, self-care tends to take the back seat in our lives. 

Create wholesome habits in your lifestyle all month long and see how much better you feel! Check out our Health & Wellness Members who can help you get started. 

We had a great turnout at our Annual Joint Speed Networking event with The Greater Silver Spring Chamber of Commerce on August 7. Over 85 business professionals were able to meet with each other one on one to exchange business cards, get referrals, & gain potential clients. 

Attendees enjoyed beverages at the bar & some yummy appetizers during the open networking portion of the event. Our event sponsor, Behnam & Associates, also provided some great door prizes at the end of the program. Congrats to the lucky winners!

Thank you to the DoubleTree in Bethesda for being a wonderful host. We will be back in Silver Spring next year and are looking forward to it already!  

Montgomery County has launched a survey as part of their 4Business: Benchmarking to Be the Best for Business initiative. The survey seeks feedback on the overall business climate in Montgomery County. Responses will help inform actions that the County can take to encourage businesses to locate, expand and thrive in Montgomery County and to identify areas to enhance business and County relations. The survey will be open until September 30.

We had an awesome time at our monthly Networking @ Noon on Thursday, July 25. We got to hear from all of our attendees about what they do and how we can benefit from their services. Connections were made and business cards were exchanged as we enjoyed a delicious lunch provided by Brickside Food & Drink.

Our networking lunches are a great way to break up your day, make new business connections, and have fun growing your business.
