Events Info
The Greater Lawrence Chamber of Commerce hosts many events throughout the year including the Annual Golf Outing and SuperBowl as well as a State of the City Breakfast which features the Mayor of Lawrence. We also have an Annual Members Luncheon with an awards ceremony and a speaker as well as other seminars to help develop networking skills, and how to make the most of your membership. We most recently added a quarterly business and financial series that will have an expert speak on different ways to save time and money and learn new ways to create loyalty and also reward options in the workplace. For a complete list of our 2010 meeting and events, click here. However, we will be adding other events and meetings as we develop them, so please check this page often as we will post the event information and will have online registration available for some events.
