"Business After Hours" Host Application Form
We welcome your interest in hosting one of our chamber socials. The Business After Hours program of the Chester Municipal Chamber of Commerce serves two purposes:
- It allows the Host to showcase its business, services and facilities to the business community - It offers Chamber members the chance to meet one another and network in a casual, relaxed atmosphere.
The following provisions and guidelines have been established to assist in the positive outcome of the Business After Hours program:
