Start your day with a little productive and profitable networking!

Our monthly first friday eat & meet breakfast is a terrific opportunity to network before your workday begins. Make new business connections, brush-up your existing contacts, meet new and old friends, and keep current on what's happening in our region. 

A presentation will be given on cost medical sharing - a possible solution to expensive health insurance. The Delaware County Chamber has partnered with  the Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA) to allow our members  access to a comprehensive and cost-effective alternative to traditional  insurance plans. The SALA Healthcare Program offers two preventative care plans  with a medical cost sharing program covering unexpected or catastrophic events.  Participants can expect to save as up to 60% when compared to traditional group  health insurance. Prescription drug and telemedicine programs are also  included. The SALA Healthcare Program helps businesses, who are unable to  provide group health insurance, offer their employees access to affordable,  high quality healthcare.
