On October 8, local business owners and business representatives met for the bi-weekly Whitley County Business & Networking meeting at the Brew Ha in Columbia City. This meeting was the first to feature a new format -- informal networking, brief introductions and announcements followed by a program. Whitley County Business & Networking has been meeting since February with more than 175 members.
Friday's featured presenter was Parkview Whitley Hospital COO Scott Gabriel, shown above third from left. Gabriel introduced himself, gave a little information about his background in health care and provided attendees with an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the new Parkview Whitley Hospital, the campus and the new medical building being constructed there.
Whitley County Business & Networking meets every other Friday at 8:30 a.m. The next meeting is scheduled for October 22 at the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce office, 201 North Line Street in Columbia City. New Whitley County Chamber president Sara Lochner-Goff will speak about the chamber's direction and interest in helping to promote the local business community.
