The award-winning Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) will host its Nonprofit Showcase as an added bonus to its March Connect After 5 on March 16, 2023, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at The Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts, 3270 Mitchell Park Drive, Brookfield, WI 53045. This is a rare opportunity for non-chamber members to attend a Connect After 5.

Carol White, president & CEO of GBCC, said, “Twenty-plus local nonprofits will be in attendance to share their mission and service in our community. If not for them, then who would do the work that is being done in so many different areas? Come and learn and be inspired by all that is done by nonprofits and maybe, just maybe, you may find an organization you are passionate about and able to devote some volunteer time.”

“The Connect After 5 and Showcase is the perfect opportunity for members of the business community who are not members of the Brookfield Chamber to experience one of our signature networking events and to learn about 20+ community nonprofits that need our support,” continued White.
