Rosalind,
I have joined a few Chamber of Commerces in my state. I also have a group that I host once a month via http://www.meetup.com you set up your own criteria. I have a group called Small Business Owner looking for Recognition. Someone had given me this site via Yahoo Answers.
I hope this is an answer you were looking for.
Take care and best of luck to you.
