The Rainbow Connection<br />

We’re excited to expand<br />

our virtual programming with<br />

the Rainbow Connection.<br />

Each month we offer two<br />

networking events, a member<br />

highlight session and an<br />

educational opportunity. This<br />

series helps our members<br />

and community stay<br />

connected and informed<br />

while we navigate the “new<br />

normal.”<br />

Network Connect is<br />

just that, our networking<br />

events for you to connect<br />

to others for business<br />

or personal needs. To<br />

complement our traditional<br />

PM Brewing Up Business,<br />

we now offer additional<br />

morning networking<br />

opportunities, AM Brewing<br />

Up Business. These events<br />

include a short program of<br />

announcements from our<br />

chamber’s staff and then<br />

small group networking.<br />

Member Connect gives<br />

an in-depth highlight<br />

of one of our corporate<br />

members and one of our<br />

small business members.<br />

There is a Q&A session<br />

and members have the<br />

opportunity to talk about<br />

what they’re working<br />

on, questions or issues<br />

they need help with or<br />

anything else they want<br />

to address.<br />

Classroom Connect is<br />

designed to help LGBT+<br />

and allied business<br />

owners expand their<br />

entrepreneurial skill set<br />

with educational webinars<br />

that connect participants<br />

to trusted experts. The<br />

Classroom Connect Series<br />

is made possible thanks<br />

to HCA Healthcare/<br />

TriStar Health, who joined<br />

as the title sponsor of<br />

the Classroom Connect<br />

Series. Click here for our<br />

<strong>2020</strong>/2021 schedule.<br />

Our virtual programs will<br />

continue even after the<br />

crisis subsides, in addition<br />

to resuming in-person<br />

events, such as advocating<br />

against discrimination at<br />

the state capitol, rainbow<br />

ribbon-cuttings and events.<br />

We can’t wait to see people<br />

in person! If you need<br />

assistance or are interested<br />

in learning more about<br />

what we do, we’d love to<br />

hear from you. Visit our<br />

website for more details on<br />

these programs.<br />

communities. We are dedicated to an inclusive<br />

and equitable Nashville, where the<br />

marginalized have an advocate and support.<br />
