Divisions
The Chamber has fourteen geographically based divisions which meet on a monthly basis throughout Middlesex County. These divisions focus on local economic development issues and each meeting features an update from local municipal officials.
Twice a year, in November and March, our monthly morning division meetings are held during the evening and feature appetizers and networking, with the goal of creating new connections.
The Chamber Divisions are: Cromwell Division, Down County Division (Chester, Deep River and Essex), Durham & Middlefield Division, East Haddam/ Haddam & Killingworth Division, Portland & East Hampton Division, Rocky Hill Division, Westbrook Division, and the Central Business Bureau of the City of Middletown (all Middletown businesses)
