Power Networking in Clovis and Beyond with Beth Bridges

2013 Articles, Community, Every Other Book, Tom Sims

by Tom Sims

Clovis is a special place. Walk down the streets of Old Town and you will catch a sense of the spirit of the village-city. The business community is vibrant and connected and there is expectancy, excitement and an array of events and opportunities for meeting people and exchanging great ideas. Much of this is due to the hard work of the members and staff of Clovis Chamber of Commerce.
