Chamber Seminar Events
The Solon Chamber holds several events each year designed for specific business interests.
Breakfast Seminar Series
Solon HR Roundtable
Solon Women in Business
Solon Industrial Roundtable
Solon International Roundtable
Solon Home Based Business Seminars
NEW - Solon Young Professionals
The Chamber holds seminars to share pertinent information
with our members. Smaller in size than our monthly
luncheon meeting, the
Breakfast Seminar Series allows for greater
interaction among members and a more in-depth exploration
of a specific topic affecting businesses. Solon
HR Roundtables target subjects of specific interest
to human resource professionals. The Solon Industrial
Roundtable is targeted to the presidents, CEO's,
CFO's and upper level management of larger companies
in the Solon Industrial Area and deals with subjects
specific to management and leadership. The new Solon
International Roundtable is targeted to companies
wishing to increase their international business.
The Solon Women in Business Series is designed
to help women in business understand, embrace and
share some of the secrets to being successful in
the world of business. The new Solon Home Based
Business Seminars provide valuable information
and networking for businesses operating out of their
homes. New in 2007 is the Solon Chamber
Young Professional's Group that will provide
activities to help grow our future leaders.
