Who can attend these meetings?

Anyone! Our group is open to professionals from all industries, backgrounds, and experience levels. Whether you’re just starting out or well established, you’re welcome here.

Do I need to be invited to join?

No invitation is needed. If you’re interested in connecting with others and growing professionally, feel free to attend a meeting or two and see if it’s the right fit for you.

Is there a cost to attend?

Each meeting includes open networking, structured introductions about you and your industry, and opportunities to share updates, goals, and ideas. It’s a supportive space where everyone has a chance to be heard.

Bring your authentic self and, if you have them, a few business cards. But most importantly—come ready to connect, listen, and engage.

We currently meet weekly every Thursdays at the Westlake Porter Library at 12 PM. Room details may vary, so be sure to check ahead or reach out for confirmation.

Business Introductions & Updates

During this part of the meeting, each attendee will have a brief opportunity to introduce themselves and share a quick update. It’s a great way to build familiarity and keep the group connected. Participants are encouraged to: - State their name and professional role - Share their business category or industry (e.g., marketing, real estate, legal, wellness, etc.) - Highlight recent wins, goals, or their experience within their business field

1:00 PM - 1:15 PM

Referral Requests / Offers

This is where connections turn into opportunities. Attendees can ask the group for specific referrals—whether it’s a type of client, collaborator, or service, and offer referrals to others in the room. It’s all about supporting each other’s goals, opening doors, and building a stronger network through real, actionable leads.
