What is Corvallis NBG?

We are a network of local business owners and managers who come together every Tuesday morning at 7:15 to build a community of partnership by making referrals to local businesses we trust!

 

Corvallis NBG stands out from other small business networking groups due to its relaxed, personal approach, fostering genuine connections among members. Our monthly small group meetings allow us to deepen relationships and strategize on how to best support each other’s businesses, all within a welcoming atmosphere.

Visit Us!

We invite you to attend a meeting and see what we are all about. Corvallis NBG allows only one of each business category to participate in the group at any given time. Similar businesses may join if they focus on different aspects of a category. If your business does cross over with another member’s business please refrain from advertising that portion of your business at with group. People do come and go, so even if your spot is taken, there may be an opening in the future.

 

Eligibility

If you are interested in joining our group please join our next meeting as a guest! From there you are able to apply for membership. We reserve membership to one business per category to avoid conflict of interests in referring between businesses. If you would like to join our group but your category is filled, you are able to be waitlisted and contacted once that category opens.

Benefits

By utilizing our members’ services, you can:

  • Deal with owners and top management officials directly.
  • Get to know a vendor with a working relationship.
  • Be treated as the important and valuable person that you are.
  • Be confident that you will be treated fairly and equitably by all members.

What is the process to become a member?
Potential members will join us for two of our weekly meetings as a guest before completing our official member application. We will ask our current members if there are any objections, and if the applicant’s business has any conflicts with our current members’ businesses. Our board members will conduct a vote whether to approve or deny the application.
How is the group managing meetings in covid time?
At the beginning of the pandemic we held our weekly meetings solely on Zoom. After the vaccine became widely available and State laws began to change, we have a hybrid in-person and Zoom meeting. If anyone has been feeling sick or had a recent Covid exposure they are not to come in-person to our meetings.
