Business Alliance Groups are the Chamber’s popular lead generation and referral networks. These groups have helped hundreds of professionals gain a competitive advantage in the San Diego marketplace. Group members meet twice a month to collaborate on sales techniques, presentation skills, strategic partnerships, referral exchange, professional relationships, and more. Participation in these groups is an exclusive yet complimentary benefit of membership. For more information on Business Alliance Groups, contact (619) 544-1337 or BecomeAMember@sdchamber.org.
