The BRBC Business Relationship Network (BRN) is a vital component of our organization, facilitating connections and collaboration among professionals across various industries. Through meetings and events, members have the opportunity to cultivate both personal and professional relationships, ultimately leading to business expansion through valuable leads and connections. This network serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking to broaden their business ventures and establish enduring connections within the professional community.

The Business Referral Network (BRN) is a highly sought-after networking group that is open exclusively to members of the BRBC. Each industry or business category is limited to one representative, ensuring a diverse and non-competitive environment. The group meets on the second & forth Tuesdays of each month at 8 a.m. in the BRBC Conference Room, providing ample opportunities for members to connect, share referrals, and build valuable business relationships.
