Chamber Networking Group
Come learn more about the Portland Regional Chamber’s networking group. The goal of the networking group is for Chamber members to expand their professional network and to help members grow their business.
The meetings are held once per week for 90 minutes. There will be one “seat” per business type to foster collaboration rather than competition between members.

Are you looking to increase revenues? One of the biggest challenges businesses face is growing revenue; finding and retaining profitable customers.
To address this need, the Portland Chamber has formed the Portland Regional Chamber LINQ. LINQ stands for:
Learn about people and professions in multiple industries
Integrate resources and relationships to target real growth
Network to gain trusted partners across industries
Qualify leads and referrals for optimal outcomes
The goal is to help members increase their business by developing meaningful relationships with other quality business professionals and sharing opportunities for new business. These relationships will be based on mutual respect and understanding of members and their businesses.
Here is how it works:
Connect – The group provides the opportunity for Chamber members to connect with other Chamber members for the purpose of networking. The meetings are held once per week for 90 minutes. There would be one “seat” per business type to foster collaboration rather than competition between members. Members are encouraged to meet other members “one on one” outside of the weekly meeting.
Communicate – Each Group member has the opportunity to share the value proposition of his or her company. During each meeting, one member will give a more detailed presentation of his or her business.
Opportunity – During the final few minutes of the meeting, members will offer referrals, note the “one on one” meetings they had during the previous week and share testimonials about other group members as appropriate.
Please click the link below to complete your application to join LINQ. If an applicant's seat is currently occupied, you will be added to the wait list and will be contacted when a vacancy in your industry's seat occurs or when a second group is launched. For questions, including inquiries regarding available seats by industry type, please email Dan Santos or Tommy Johnson, or call (207) 772-2811.
