Monthly Meet & Eat

Meet & Eat – Monthly Business Networking Lunches


Building stronger business connections, one lunch at a time.

What Is the Meet & Eat?

Meet & Eat is our monthly business networking lunch designed to help entrepreneurs, local business owners, and professionals build relationships, gain visibility, and support the growth of our community.

We meet on the 4th Tuesday from 11:30 AM–1:30 PM  January thru October and the 3rd Tuesday in November and December. 

Location changes each month so review the calendar and registration carefully to be sure you come to the right place!


Each lunch features:

  • Genuine networking among local professionals
  • A sponsor who provides lunch
  • A welcoming, collaborative environment
  • Opportunities to share what you do and what you’re working on
  • A comfortable experience for all personality types—extroverts, introverts, brand-new startups, and seasoned business leaders alike

No pressure. Just 1.5 hours of meaningful connection, shared ideas, lunch, and community

How Business Owners Benefit

Attending Meet & Eat isn’t just ‘showing up for lunch.’ It’s investing one and a half hours each month into meaningful connection and community:

✔ Visibility

Attendees have opportunities to share their business, highlight current needs, and stay top-of-mind in the local network.

✔ Warm Leads & Real Referrals

Because attendees get to know each other in person, it naturally leads to:

  • Partnerships
  • Vendor relationships
  • New customers
  • Future collaborations

✔ Professional Growth

Speakers (at most events) share practical insights on marketing, leadership, mindset, and growth—things business owners can take and apply immediately.

✔ Community Connection

This isn’t surface-level networking. It’s people genuinely rooting for each other, helping, and growing together month after month.

If you’re new to the area, new to business, or simply want more support and network momentum, you’ll feel right at home.
