The Columbia Chamber’s Northeast Connection brings small businesses in the Northeast region together in one location. The NE Connection serves as an advocate for small businesses in our community and provides a forum for education, networking, and motivation. The Chamber is focused on creating and promoting an environment where businesses can flourish. The link between the Northeast region and downtown Partners will strengthen relationships, promote growth, and enhance community awareness for small businesses.
