The objectives of a referral group are for its members to get to know one another well enough to feel comfortable referring each other, to gain business, and to establish valuable personal and business connections.

As with most chamber member referral groups, each business category is represented by only one member. This means, for example, that there would be only one butcher, only one baker, and only one candlestick maker allowed to join.

To RSVP for the meeting, contact the chamber at 517.546.3920 or email chamber@howell.org.
