Wilmington/Tewksbury Chamber Events Lineup

From a seminar on how to provide healthcare to your employees affordably to a women’s networking event, there’s lots going on for area businesses.

Event: Affordable, Flexible Health Insurance for Small Business
Date: Wed. Feb. 9, 9:00 – 10:00 a.m.
Location: Zoom, link will be sent upon registration
Fees/Admission: Free, Registration Required

Presentation with Chaitra Sanders, Associate Director of the MA Health Connector for Business and Thomas Poeck of HealthMarkets Insurance, licensed broker for the Health Connector. Health insurance is our most requested topic from members and local businesses. Now is a great time to explore offering benefits to your employees. Using the Health Connector for Business can help your organization:
> Attract and retain employees
> Offer them a range of insurance options, including HSA plans
> Save money — and even get money back — on premiums
> Support and encourage healthy choices for your employees
> Compete with the “big guys” without paying huge premiums

Event: Zoom Speed Networking
Date: Tuesday, Feb. 15, 3:30 – 5 p.m.
Location: Zoom, link will be sent upon registration
Fees/Admission: Members – $10 Non-Members – $20

Join professionals from area chambers: Arlington, Burlington, Lexington, Malden, Medford, Reading/North Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, Waltham, Wilmington/Tewksbury, Winchester.

Even if you can’t meet in person, that doesn’t mean business — or the need to build relationships — stops. In fact, without the natural interactions that go along with in-person work and events, it’s even more important to be proactive in your networking efforts. Join us via Zoom for a relaxed but structured virtual networking session. It’s networking, a new way!

We meet as a group for a few minutes of overview and announcements from the participating Chambers. Then you’ll be put into Breakout #1 with 6-8 other people for 20-25 minutes of roundtable introductions and discussion. After the first breakout, we reconvene and share any insights before Breakout #2 with a new group of people!

The full attendee list will be sent to you through your home Chamber with contacts for everyone. Last year’s Virtual Networking sessions drew up to 80 people: connect with dozens in one hour!
