Free Networking Groups

We actively support free, non-exclusive (that means open to any reputable business person) networking groups. You can practically pick your day and location that’s convenient. There is some overlap in attendance between the groups and most draw 15 to 25 on average but some are larger. Anyone is welcome. Because these meetings will sometimes meet at a different location, it’s good to call the contact to make sure where they will meet the day you plan to attend for the first time.

All you need is some business cards and your 60-second commercial. Want to develop an awesome 60-second commercial? Click here for a worksheet.
