A Monthly Networking Tradition Connects Orange’s Business Community

On the first Wednesday of every month, local professionals and business owners gather for the Business Networking Group hosted by the Orange Chamber of Commerce — a consistent opportunity to connect, collaborate, and grow within the Orange business community.

Held from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Hotel FERA, the meeting combines structured networking with meaningful conversation. Attendees have the chance to meet fellow business owners, hear from influential guest speakers, and enjoy lunch in a setting designed to encourage professional connection.

The gathering also offers multiple ways for Chamber members to showcase their businesses. Members in attendance receive a 45-second commercial to share their elevator pitch, along with inclusion in a post-event contact sheet that lists attendee names, businesses, and phone numbers to help facilitate follow-up connections after the meeting.

Chamber members also have the opportunity to display marketing materials during the event, increasing visibility among peers and guests. In addition, attendees are invited to donate a door prize, a popular way to highlight products or services while gaining recognition during the meeting and through Chamber social media. Donated prizes must have a minimum value and be a stand-alone item rather than a discount or promotional offer.

The Business Networking Group is open to both Chamber members and prospective members, with discounted pricing for members. Registration is requested in advance to ensure prepared name badges and smooth check-in.

As Orange continues to support a strong local business ecosystem, monthly gatherings like this one play an important role — offering a consistent space for ideas to be shared, partnerships to form, and professional relationships to grow.
