Welcome to the Connections Place
The Connections Place enables members to build and maintain personal and professional connections in a dynamic, trusted online community both locally and nationwide. The Connections Place is a new weapon in your arsenal of strategic member benefits. It will greatly improve how members will grow their network of customers and partners. People by the millions are discovering how to negotiate, cooperate, and collaborate – to create, to explore, to enjoy themselves.
Members Will Clearly See the Value
The Connections Place is an easy and fun solution for members who have to balance their professional, family, and other life demands and varied relationships.
Members communicate with others using a range of social media tools, including video, images, tagging, forums, and messaging. This is built on top of a core of content based on video, local news and other new media.
Why Send Members to LinkedIn or Facebook to Network?
Members can go to social networks on the open internet but the Connections Place, a trusted community, offers members the oppotunity to network with other members, easily find trading partners and new customers. They expand their knowledge by accessing pertinent content and RSS-based access to the world of news and other interesting ways to communicate and share with others.
