Why We Gather
Running an independent business can be rewarding, but it can also feel isolating. Business owners often face similar questions about marketing, staffing, technology, local regulations, customer relationships, and growth.
Our goal is to create useful spaces where members can learn from one another, make connections, find potential collaborators and become more connected to Sonoma County’s independent-business community.
