Women in the KNOW
Knowledgeable Network of Women - is a personal and professional development program for women in business and community leadership roles. KNOW provides a niche networking forum to openly discuss emerging issues impacting women in our business community in a supportive environment. Through KNOW, the Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce wishes to cultivate talent by reaching out to today's women executives and tomorrow's leaders. Once a year Speaker Luncheons are scheduled. Watch the Chamber Calendar of events.
T@T is an opportunity for small business owners and leaders to openly discuss issues and trends impacting local business. Through Topics @ Twelve the Chamber of Commerce seeks to support small business in our local community. Participants can expect an interesting keynote speaker addressing topics of relevance to small business owners followed by a lively roundtable discussion and an offering of practical solutions to common challenges facing the small business owner. Topics @ Twelve is a quarterly event.
Monthly Business Breakfasts are a great way to meet fellow members with whom share your interests. Business is conducted at the most casual of networking occasions and many a prospect has been initiated and deals closed at such events.
Quarterly Mixers are hosted by member organizations at their place of business and are an informal way to get to know your colleagues and meet your next potential client.
Core Connections are our quarterly new member orientations held at the chamber.

Youth & Education Programs
Student Citizen of the MonthThe Student Citizen of the Month program is a Chamber tradition and is how we recognize and honor young people in the community who are demonstrating quality leadership skills. At a monthly breakfast ceremony, Student Citizens from 10 area schools are presented with certificates of achievement, medallions, and letters of commendation from local and state officials recognizing their achievements and the exceptional example they set for their peers. The Student Citizens are always delighted with the special recognition and thrilled to leave with a bag full of "goodies" provided by chamber supporters.
The Student Citizen of the Month Program is an opportunity to tie your business with this long-standing community tradition. Contact your chamber office if you are interested.
