thanks for all the support. It seems that feedback is fairly positive as I have received a few PM's with interest in joining up. Overall, I think it will be beneficial and the moral support from each other will really help.
The actual 'networking' drink socials are once per month, so the next one might be April. I usually just check the chamber website to see what they have.
In the mean time, I'm still going to check the chamber website as they have seminars to attend. I have registered for one on 3/15 with American Chamber called "leaders learn." and I also registered for one on 3/20 with the canadian chamber about 'how to network.(thanks to another member for pointing this out)" Although these are not actual networking events, the topics dointerest me and it's fairly educational.
