Downtown Huntsville, Inc. Members group is for members of Downtown Huntsville Inc to network, communicate, and share upcoming events with each other. Downtown Huntsville is a tight knit group of small businesses that drive a lot of traffic to our beautiful downtown area. Through this group, members of DHI can post and coordinate events, keep in the loop with surrounding businesses, and celebrate each other’s accomplishments.

DHI’s Member group is one of the smaller groups we will feature, simply because you have to be a downtown business and a member of DHI to be accepted to the group. If you have a business in or near downtown Huntsville and would like to be a part of this group to network and connect, find it on Facebook by searching Downtown Huntsville, Inc. Members.

There are so many amazing opportunities that can come along with finding like-minded individuals that share your professional goals and aspirations. Finding a tribe makes facing struggles at work so much less daunting knowing that you have a support system waiting in the wings to give you advice and help get you back on the right track.

And networking doesn’t always have to be all about work! Sometimes just getting together and understanding that we all need a break from the hustle is more important and beneficial than talking about work. Facebook makes it easy to connect and Huntsville Facebook groups are a great start to building a foundation of a strong professional support system.
