Business After-Hours (BAH) take place, traditionally, on the third Wednesday of the month. Events are from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
Business After Hours (BAH) are a wonderful marketing opportunity for members as they elevate the host’s presence in the community. With average attendance of 50-75 people, the visibility your company will receive is immense. In addition to on-site visibility, the Chamber actively promotes each BAH/host through local media outreach, i.e. Biz Blast, Facebook, Chamber Monthly etc. Generally, BAH hosts provide food, wine and giveaways. Co-hosting is welcomed and encouraged!
Please contact the chamber directly at 231-547-2101 or cole@charlevoix.org for schedule and availability.
