Budapest Chamber Working Group

Our Chamber has recently become sister chambers with the Budapest Business Chamber, or BBC. The BCC is newly formed by a former Arlington Chamber member, Orsolya EnekesEnekes is co-director of the BCC and hopes to bring the same advantages and opportunities that American chambers give its members to those living in Budapest, Hungary. "There is no word for 'networking' in Hungarian-nothing whatsoever," states Enekes.

 
The Arlington Chamber's 'sister' relationship with the BCC is one that offers friendship, experience and international opportunity. We will be meeting Monday, September 24 at 8:30am in the Chamber Board room to discuss our new venture. All Chamber members are welcome to attend. Email Brian for more information.
