The Chamber's Forest Leads Group
Building Trust. Growing Businesses. Strengthening Community.
For over 17 years, the Forest Leads Group has offered local professionals a space to build real relationships -- not just exchange business cards. This referral-based networking group meets every other week to connect, share updates, and support one another's success in a collaborative, non-competitive environment.
The Forest Leads Group supports more than just business development. It's part of our broader mission to grow the regional economy, foster leadership, and create opportunities that benefit the entire Bedford area.
Who Can Join
Participation in the Forest Leads Group is an exclusive benefit for active members of the Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce. Each business category is represented by only one member to ensure a non-competitive, referral-based environment.
Cost to Participate
There is no additional fee beyond your Chamber membership.
How to Join
If your business category is available, we'd love to invite you to visit as our guest. Simply contact the Chamber at (540) 586-9401 to confirm availability and learn more about next steps.
Meetings
The Forest Leads Group meets twice monthly on Wednesdays. Exact meeting details are provided after your category has been confirmed and your Chamber membership is active.
