<HTML>The Chamber of Commerce is the best way to go for networking with other professionals. The BBB is just a certification of excellent customer service shall a problem arise.
With the Chamber, you will be with other professionals looking to exchange trades or conduct business.
The BBB is a for a customer's security and comfort, knowing they're doing business with a company that cares about them and they're business.</HTML>
Take care,

<HTML>Phil, done some research myself in to this. I think the chamber is your best bet , my local one has regualr monthly meetings, and at your first meeting, the host wil go around and introduce you to everyone, particualry people who may want or need your services . They also have a trade directory that is given out to all of it's members etc.

<HTML>Chamber, definitely, Phil. I joined my local chamber and they're constantly having events. Like business luncheons with guest speakers and they have a golf outing and regular mixers which are big networking events where you mingle and pass out your cards, make contacts, etc. They also have regional mixers a couple times/year where members from other chambers get together at a big event and network over cocktails & horse ovaries (hors d' ouvres as they're more politely known, lol) and you usually pick up a couple customers.
What's even better to join are networking organizations like BNI or even local ones. I belong to one called Local Business Network and the members refer business to one another and recruit new members. Very low pressure plus you get to know people on a more personal level. Very good for getting business referrals, but you do have to reciprocate.</HTML>
