Before changing our meeting format, the Nashville GLBT Chamber Programs offered monthly presentations that provided members educational and informative perspectives on Business Building, Professional Development and Community Awareness, along with opportunities for Social Networking. The programs do not focus on specific individuals or businesses, but rather on the broader context of how these topic areas affect the overall Chamber Membership.
When there is a need, the Chamber considers hosting a Quarterly Education Forum to address a timely local need. The Chamber Program Committee is always looking for great ideas for its programs. If you would like to suggest a program, please submit an email to one of the Program Committee members.
Below are just a few of previous programs that have been presented at monthly chamber meetings:
