Business Walks

Metro Chamber Business Walks, in cooperation with other chambers of commerce, city and county agencies, is another aspect to the Metro Pulse program. The annual Business Walks are conducted in districts throughout the region. Visited businesses are asked three questions: How's business, what do you like about doing business in your area and how can business be made better? The results are given to appropriate authorities for action.

Chamber members who participate as Business Walkers can gain valuable knowledge of business conditions while extending their network of contacts in the region. Register via the the Metro Chamber online calendar.
