“We were excited to provide the opportunity for our great local business owners to network with other business professionals from outside of Oakland to further their reach and provide networking opportunities to promote their businesses.” Noted Chairman Peter Kikot. “We had a great turnout for our first event. It was wonderful to make so many new contacts and to share our unique Community concept to other Chamber groups who were in attendance.” added Kikot.
