What Does Your Business Need From Us in 2027?

Burlington WA Chamber of Commerce members networking and attending Business Over a Bite events

By Stephanie Rees, CEO, Burlington Chamber of Commerce

The Burlington Chamber is already looking ahead to 2027, and we want your help.
As we begin planning next year’s programs, we want to make sure we are focusing on what our members actually need—not simply what we think they need.
Every business is different. Some need stronger connections within the business community. Others are looking for practical education, greater visibility, help navigating challenges, or opportunities to have honest conversations with people who understand what it takes to run and grow an organization.
That is why we want to hear directly from you.
Help Us Shape Business Over a Bite
Our monthly Business Over a Bite Membership Meetings are designed to bring Chamber members together to connect, learn, and stay informed about what is happening in Burlington and throughout our business community.
In 2027, we want to be even more intentional about making these meetings useful and worth your time.
What challenges is your business facing? What topics would be helpful? What speakers, conversations, or educational opportunities would make you leave a meeting thinking, ā€œI’m glad I attendedā€?
You may want to learn more about marketing, customer growth, hiring and employee retention, financing, technology, leadership, economic trends, government resources, or changes that could affect your business.
Or maybe you simply need more opportunities to connect with other business professionals and talk openly about what is working, what is not, and what we can learn from one another.
Whatever it is, we want to know.
Your Feedback Matters
One of the Chamber’s greatest strengths is the collective experience of our members. Our membership includes businesses and organizations of different sizes, industries, backgrounds, and stages of growth. There is no single topic or program that will meet everyone’s needs, but your feedback will help us make better decisions about where to focus our time, resources, and programming.
We want to hear your ideas about:
  • Topics for future Business Over a Bite meetings
  • Challenges that need more conversation or education
  • Speakers or industries you would like represented
  • Valuable networking and relationship-building opportunities
  • Ways we can continue improving the overall member experience
And yes, we really do want to know what you think.
