Baig Security membership with Burlington Chamber of Commerce
In February of 2023 big security became a member of the Planter Chamber of Commerce. The Burlington Chamber of Commerce is a collection of businesses operating out of Burlington that are. offer networking events as well as supports for companies.
We joined the chamber after meeting with Scott Bridger, one of the heads of the organization. We have an ongoing relationship with the chamber and our membership will be continuing into next year.

The event was hosted by the Burlington Chamber of Commerce. We were given a tour of the facility and got to see a behind the scenes tour of how Food For Life works.
It was a great introduction to how a chamber events work and the chance to give us two network with other successful companies. We were also given extra donated food that was. sorted into ingredients. to make soup. There was also delicious sandwiches and healthy bowls.

Scott and Terry gave everyone who had recently joined an information packet with all the benefits at the Chamber offers as well as hosted a mini networking event to preface for the night.

Our fourth business after 5.
The fourth business after five we attended that was hosted by the Boeing Chamber of Commerce was in June. and it was located at the Nickel Brook Brewery. The nickel broke brewery is a brewery that makes their own alcoholic. beverages.
It was my first time going to the nickel book brewery. D. inside of the brewery is gorgeous and I love the outside patio that’s attached. We were offered one free drink as part of the Chamber and I had the over the rainbow IPA, which was really, really good.
It was super hot that day, so I didn’t go out on the patio. The rest of the event was fantastic. I was able to network with the sharp storytelling company and I actually won the raffle for a 45 minute video marketing consultation.
Other chamber events
One of the events at the chamber invited us to was the business after business hosted by the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce. This took place in Tim Hortons Stadium. It’s a stadium in Hamilton that hosts football games and soccer games.
I got to meet the Hamilton tiger cats players as well as the head coach. I got to hear them give speeches on leadership and how the leadership skills they use are beneficial to teaching football.
Interestingly enough, my great grandfather was actually part of the team before it merged. She become the Hamilton Tiger cats! This was a long time ago though. L O L.
