Chamber’s Annual Banquet
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Brownsville
Chamber of Commerce organizes a special meeting for its
members. The event recognizes Chamber accomplishments,
member volunteers and unveils plans for the upcoming fiscal
year.
Speed Networking Events
A fun, fast way to build your business contacts!
You will be seated at a table with up to six other business
people. Going around the table, each participant presents a
“60-second commercial” on his or her business and passes out
their business cards. After everyone has had a turn, you
have two minutes for networking while you advance to the
next table and begin again. You will meet 49 new business
contacts in one hour. For more information, email
info@brownsvillechamber.com.

Join a Committee
Indirect benefits are benefits that don’t directly affect
the business. Most of the indirect benefits are through our
working committees and task forces. These are projects the
Chamber works on to benefit the entire community as a whole.
Join a committee and get involved. It’s a great opportunity
to network.
