Members of The Business Network of Southwest Florida not only enjoy doing business with one another but also enjoy one another’s company. “Business After Hours” get-togethers are routinely scheduled, and the group schedules three to four social gatherings per year. See our Calendar of Events for the next upcoming Social Event.

Professional Development

In addition to programs at weekly meetings, the Business Network occasionally sponsors or co-sponsors a major professional development seminar and open attendance to the entire community. It also conducts “mini-workshops” for members on such topics as workers’ compensation, sexual harassment in the workplace and more. See our Calendar of Events for the next upcoming Professional Development Event.

Attendance

Participation is essential to effective networking. Consequently, regular attendance at Business Network meetings is expected. Again, according to the bylaws, “Any member who misses two consecutive meetings without a reasonable excuse and without notice will be considered delinquent.”

Members of the Business Network are entirely supportive of one another and virtually all reasonable excuses are accepted. Additionally, any member may obtain a leave of absence from active participation in the functions of the organization for any reasonable cause with approval from a majority of the Executive Committee. If you are a BizNet member and know you will need to miss an upcoming meeting, let the Secretary know prior to the meeting.
