Referral Groups
Are you interested in gaining trusted relationships with other businesses in the Athens Community? Referral Groups are for you!
The goal of a Referral Group is to share leads and generate business opportunities as well as develop trusted relationships through the networking process. Only one business from each sector can be represented in each group (e.g one banker, one realtor, one insurance company, etc.) so there is no competition within each group. A single company may not have representation in multiple referral groups to create opportunities for all members to join.
If you'd like to visit a Referral Group, please review the Referral Group Guidelines and complete this interest form:
