Approximately 50 eager business people with business cards and marketing collateral pieces in hand ready to meet and greet others in hopes of growing their business network.</span></p>
<p><span face="">The Brimfield, Tallmadge and Kent Area Chambers of Commerce held its first-ever networking breakfast at the Tallmadge Community Center. All three organizations were well represented, and the feedback from participants was extremely positive.</span></p>
<p><span face="">&ldquo;I&rsquo;m thrilled with the turnout, and even more so the positive comments shared at the conclusion of the event,&rdquo; said Genel Nichols, co-owner of KentRidge at Golden Pond, and Tallmadge Chamber of Commerce trustee. &ldquo;We gave it a shot bringing the three chambers together for such an event, and I can honestly say from the response, we&rsquo;ll definitely do it again in the future.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span face="">Participants were assigned numbers based on an intricate matrix set up by Brad Lubinger, publisher of Town Planner, and asked to present a 60-second introduction &lsquo;elevator speech&rsquo; for their business. Over the course of the event, each person had the opportunity to meet everyone else in attendance.</span></p>
<p><span face="">New to the area and his position with KSU Athletics, Dennis Watson agreed that the opportunity was invaluable to him. &ldquo;Being that I&rsquo;m new, every person I met was a new contact and an opportunity for future ticket sales for KSU athletic events.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span face="">Stay tuned for the next episode of speed dating&hellip;Chamber of Commerce style!</span></p>
