Heart of Rhode Island Networking & Referral Group

The Heart of Rhode Island was founded in March 2022 and is still going strong! With 150+ attendees monthly and a sell‑out streak since September 2023, this event has become Rhode Island’s go-to space for authentic connection, community, and collaboration.

Led by Deb Honor and our incredible Heart of RI Committee:
Dawn Apajee, Cathy Andreozzi, Mark Berger, Ray Conover, Elizabeth Hamilton, Xander Honor, Lisa Jones, Sarah McCooey, Stephanie McNamara, John Pagliarini, Stacey Silva, and Bridget VanDemark — this is where real relationships begin, ideas come to life, and Rhode Island’s changemakers unite.

This month’s Heart of Rhode Island breakfast is proudly sponsored by:
Charise Wilson and Workforce Ready Solutions (wfrsllc.com)
Michelle Antonucci, Xander Honor, and ADP (adp.com)

We’re also beyond thankful to our generous hosts at CIC Providence — special thanks to Greer Yoder, Noah Yandow, and their amazing team for always welcoming us with open arms.
And of course… a HUGE thank‑you to Fundati Coffee and Alicia DeCastro for fueling our mornings with locally roasted warmth and heart! ☕
