Welcome to Connecters Networking!
We are a group of FUN people that incorporate business networking with social networking! Our networking events are not your "run of the mill" sit down and listen to a spiel about someone's business. We put the networkers in a social atmosphere that creates a face to face meeting and everyone gets to know everyone as friends AND networkers!
Why not be productive and have fun at the same time!
We have a monthly electronic newsletter publication with great information for your business you won't want to miss out on! (this newsletter is temporarily on hold while we re-work the format)
Check out our Sister Chapters that are open - and be on the lookout for more chapters opening soon. There may be one near you!

On MARCH 1, CONNECTERS IS GOING TO A MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP THROUGH PAYPAL (on this site)
What are the fees? We invite you to visit our group first to see if we fit your needs! Your first visit is only $5 each. After that, the decision is yours! If you choose to join, there are TWO levels of membership.
The first level, Monthly Membership, is a very simple level where you join for $9.50. It allows you to attend monthly meetings of this chapter and any other chapters of Connecters that you choose to visit.
From time to time, there will be special workshops and with this membership, you will recieve a much discounted fee for that workshop. Guests will pay full price.
The Premier Membership, $15.00 per month, will give you admittance to all monthly meetings and a much discounted fee to workshops and seminars.
THE BIG PLUS to this membership is:
You will be able to offer advertisement of your business, through a monthly coupon offering for goods or services. We will be putting together a monthly PERKS issue that will be sent to all the members of Connecters chapters AND Friends First Singles (many of those people are consumers and business owners-database is OVER 1400 members) AND we will be sending this advertisement to two other databases that have over 10,000 in each one!
There are guidelines to participate in the monthly Advertisement E-Circular. (When you join, you will be given those guidelines.)
So you ask...what do I get for your membership? What is the Connecters Networking Group going to do for me? Glad you asked!
- You and your business get recognition by attending our meetings.
- You get personal introductions to other business owners and networkers.
- You get free business education at each meeting through our ROUND TABLE discussions/workshop .
- You make new and improved social and business contacts at each meeting.
- You get added recognition through our MONTHLY ADVERTISEMENT E-CIRCULAR that is sent out to over 20,000 people and growing!
When you attend our meeting, the Chapter Owner will personally greet you. You then will be introduced to an Assistant Connecter who will check you in. Your Assistant Connecter will be escorting you during the "check in" time and then he/she will take you around the room to be personally introduced to others.
By the time you come to the second meeting, the Assistant Connector assigned to your business will have studied your profile and learned all that he/she can learn about you from the information that you have given us.
At each meeting you will be asked to sign the attendance sheet. After the educational portion-the Round Table, of each meeting, the attendance sheet will be read out loud to the group and you will be asked to stand and identify yourself. We do this because it is impossible to meet each attendee at the meeting but if you know who is in the room, you might make a direct attempt to meet that person.
We will also introduce you to others for more than business....promoting friendships and making new friends is a HUGE way of enlarging your social and business circle. There will be social events planned every few months that will include business networkers and their friends and families.
Business attire is required at our events. If you are going to do business, you have to look like business! No jeans, sneakers or t-shirts are permitted. We want to present our best side to those that we want to do business with!
We hope you will visit one of our meetings soon to find out if this group is a fit for you!
