We’re hosting our first Business After Hours of the year at Chase Bank South Shore Center on January 30th from 5:30-7:00 PM. The event is free for members and $20 for guests.
If you’re imagining a stuffy event with a hard sell, you couldn’t be more wrong. Our Business After Hours events are a great way to know and connect with fellow members as well as understand the different businesses in Alameda. We have a new host location each month.
