BUSINESS AFTER HOURS

The Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce offers members an opportunity to promote their products and services on an exclusive basis in a program called BUSINESS AFTER HOURS. This program is predicated on the basis of the need for businessmen and women to get together in a social atmosphere to exchange ideas, discuss common concerns, learn about new products on the market, new techniques, and new opportunities within the Chamber membership. Click above for the Business After Hours Guidelines. For more information contact Marsha, chamber2@jacksonvilleareachamber.org
