How to Make You a Better Businessman!
52 Connections is a Networking Community for Business Leaders, Nonprofits, and Entrepreneurs. We ditch the silly pitch, and focus on opportunities that can be easily missed when not intentional.
because, I believe every leader has a purpose, and purpose was never meant to be lived out alone. Nothing meaningful is ever built in isolation.
Behind every success story are the people who opened doors, shared wisdom, referred opportunities, and walked alongside the journey.
That’s why 52 Connections exists. We are not another networking group. We are a vetted hybrid community of business leaders, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs who are tired of surface-level chatter, pitch-heavy rooms, and wasted time.
Here, you won’t find transaction chasers or the “always selling” crowd. We have already proudly done the work of vetting, so you don’t have to. Instead, you’ll meet the right people right away. They are the ones who see you, trust you, and want to grow alongside you.
Through intentional in-person and virtual opportunities, workshops, and a private member hub, 52 Connections is where you find belonging, build relationships that matter, and grow in both business and purpose.
If you’re looking for a place where your presence is noticed, your voice is valued, and your purpose is multiplied by the people around you, welcome to the table. This is the community you’ve been searching for.
Members have an opportunity to meet every week if they would like to, either virtually or in person, in varying locations around West Michigan and along the Lakeshore. Each member has the opportunity to educate the group on their business or nonprofit while networking, socializing, and connecting. These opportunities are scheduled in advance for planning in advance.
Our members have the opportunity to present as an expert in either a workshop or Lunch ‘N Learn format up to 4 times a year. Each presentation and video is recorded and stored in our membership library throughout the entire year! In addition, experts from around the world are invited into our community to share their expertise to our members consistently.
Every member is featured in our membership directory. This membership directory helps members meet one another and get to know one another even more. It’s also a resource full of networking tools to support members in achieving their networking goals.
