I met my mentor at the local chamber of commerce (I'm in a semi-rural/semi-urban area) - the Seattle SCORE office has their own building, it's a much larger organization and aligned with several other like orgs.

I was wondering if any of you have become members of your respective Chambers of Commerce or local Better Business Bureau agencies.
