Network North Fulton
Chamber Contact: Donna Boyd, Ext. 303

A quarterly leads group organized by the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce. Interested members are divided into groups of six or more, depending on the response. Network North Fulton sessions involve small groups of member to member interaction on a weekly basis. Each week a different member of the group spotlights themselves and their business for other group members. The chamber will determine the groups so members from similar industries are not paired. Once the groups are established, the designated group leader will contact the group to determine meeting days and times. Call the Chamber to register for the next Network North Fulton session.
