Destin/Walton County Biz owners: The first meeting for our Biz owners networking group is tentatively scheduled for the second week in June. We still have a few openings, and for now, there are no fees to join. Let's get together, make friends, and help one another grow those businesses.

If you are interested in being a part of the group, Shoot Wes an email at wes@wesherndon.com

Just curious how this is different from a chamber?

Probably the biggest difference is that this group is Niche or industry exclusive...Only one realtor, one insurance agent, and so on.

Basically geared towards creating a small more intimate outlet for those who prefer a less formal way of networking and the intimacy of a smaller group.

The group's mission is to assist its members with building their center of influence and allowing a forum for sharing/assisting others with similar aspirations. Similar to BNI but without the fees.

In my experience, niche/industry exclusivity affords a more idea rich and unencumbered atmosphere. Unfortunately, the Chamber cannot always offer this because of their purpose of serving the business community as a whole.

That being said, I am a HUGE advocate for Chamber membership and am a firm believer in its purpose.

Thanks wesman70 for forming this group, I agree with you that there is room for a niche networking group like Emerald Coast Entrepreneur's Network.

I am looking for a business opportunity with an existing business that is expanding and interested in a working partner. Strong Marketing and Business Development background and strong work ethic. Interested in hearing about any business, have worked in various fields. Moving to 30A from Atlanta.
