Throughout the year, we have various opportunities to network and mingle with the chamber community:
​

• Our Business Expo gives local businesses an opportunity to exhibit their services. It is free to attend and open to the public with food, drinks, and raffle prizes.
• Every month, the WVCBA staff chooses a member business to patronize inviting the community to Join Us! It could be a lunch, happy hour, museum exhibit, or axe throwing. It is free to attend and fun for all!
• We host several mixers a year, including but not limited to a Military Appreciation Mixer and a Meet Your Elected Officials Mixer.
• We facilitate ribbon cuttings for businesses commemorating a grand opening or milestone. Everyone is invited to join in as we celebrate with our chamber member.
