For business owners who want more than a handshake and a stack of business cards, the Chamber’s Business Partnership Network (BPN) offers a proven pathway to real growth.

BPN is the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Montgomery County’s premier relationship-based networking opportunity. Designed for members who are intentional about growing their business, BPN connects professionals into small, trusted groups that meet weekly to build relationships, exchange referrals, and hold one another accountable to meaningful goals.

With five active BPN chapters meeting across Montgomery County, members consistently share one powerful message: BPN works. Chamber members credit their BPN participation with creating reliable referral pipelines, expanding visibility, and helping their businesses grow and succeed.

Unlike national networking organizations that come with rigid rules, high fees, and unnecessary pressure, BPN offers structure with flexibility. It is focused,
intentional, and results-driven without being burdensome. Members gain the benefits of consistency and accountability without the excessive rigor found in
national networking organizations.

Each weekly meeting is designed to deepen trust and understanding among members. As relationships strengthen, referrals become natural and meaningful. Over time, BPN members become an extension of one another’s sales teams—actively advocating for each other and opening doors that would otherwise remain closed.

BPN also sharpens key business skills. Members learn how to deliver a strong and effective 30-second commercial, clearly communicating who they serve and how they add value. The environment encourages collaboration, feedback, and shared learning, turning each chapter into a built-in advisory circle of
professionals invested in one another’s success.

Perhaps most importantly, BPN creates something many business owners lack: a professional family. Entrepreneurship can be isolating, but BPN provides
encouragement, accountability, celebration of wins, and support through challenges.

To further strengthen the program, the Chamber is forming a BPN Advisory Committee to expand capacity, enhance member experience, and support BPN as a strategic growth initiative for the organization. Quarterly BPN mixers now bring all chapters together, creating even greater opportunities for cross-chapter
referrals and collaboration.

BPN is intentionally positioned as the upper tier of Chamber networking. While traditional networking events, educational programs, and monthly meetings provide valuable exposure, BPN is for members who want deeper engagement, stronger relationships, and measurable results.

With a low financial investment and high return, BPN delivers exceptional value—combining the power of relationship-based referrals with the resources,
credibility, and reach of the Chamber.

If you are ready to move beyond casual networking and commit to meaningful business growth, the Chamber’s Business Partnership Network may be the right next step for you.
