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 />
