In 2018, we were fortunate to host over 20 events for our members and the Frederick business community. From small, on-site Coffee & Contacts meetups, to the largest Business Card Exchange event of the year, held at City Hall in December, we offer our members quality events designed to help them connect, collaborate, learn, and grow their businesses.
We are diligent about supporting our members in this way, and some of our events have truly been magical, but we couldn’t make any of it happen without the generous support and partnerships of our event partners and sponsors.
If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor of a future event, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Christy Butler (cbutler@frederickchamber.org) to find out how you can be a part of the magic.
As we’ve just put the finishing touches on our last event of 2018 and are eagerly looking forward to starting 2019 off with an exciting Coffee & Contacts To-Go at Soldier Fit, we’d like to take a moment to recognize the businesses and organizations that helped make 2018 great.
