The New Hope/Crystal Business Networking Group was started by New Hope business owners in 2010 to create an open forum for networking within the city. It merged with the Crystal Business Association in 2023. The group is open and free to all New Hope, Crystal, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, and Golden Valley  business owners for the purpose of networking, sharing business and leads, and reaching decision makers that might otherwise be difficult to engage. Meetings take place on the first Wednesday of every month with times alternating between 8:30 a.m. (even months) and 2:00 p.m. (odd months).

To join the group, host a meeting, or be added to the group's email distribution list, contact Jeff Alger, Community Development Specialist, at 763-531-5119 or [email protected]. You can also join the Business Networking Group on Facebook.
