The Pagosa Springs Chamber of Commerce is bringing the community together this spring with a trio of events designed to connect local businesses, spark meaningful conversation and celebrate one of the area’s favorite traditions.
The season kicks off with the next Business Happy Hour on April 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Patria Pagosa, 920 San Juan St., hosted by Bank of the San Juans and Patria Pagosa.
This casual networking event continues to draw a strong crowd of local professionals, offering an easy and welcoming way to build relationships, share ideas and stay connected to the local business community. Two complimentary refreshments and door prizes will be included with your $10 entry fee.
The Chamber and the Pagosa Springs Community Development Center will host the Beyond the Bottom Line forum on April 29 at the Ross Aragon Community Center at 451 Hot Springs Blvd.
This event will focus on the bigger picture of doing business in Archuleta County, with discussion centered on topics such as workforce development, economic sustainability and long-term community vitality.
Featured speakers include Pagosa’s own Melissa Lee and Matt Gordon with the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, who will offer insight into business ownership and the different tools that can help with efficiency.
The forum begins at 9:30 a.m., with a light breakfast at 8:30 a.m. Advance registration is encouraged at https://member.pagosachamber.com/ap/Events/Register/lzFnw39fjC5Cw.
