What does a healthier, more connected community look like—and what part can you play in shaping it?

At this Purpose Forum, we’re diving deeper into community health—not in terms of hospitals and healthcare, but in how we live, connect, and support one another.

This interactive gathering features small-group conversations designed to spark real dialogue, fresh ideas, and new relationships.

Whether you’re here to make new business contacts, expand your civic leadership, or simply connect with others who care about the Grand Valley, Gather & Discover is your space to do it.

• Business professionals and entrepreneurs looking to connect beyond the usual circles
• Civic and government leaders interested in fresh, community-driven dialogue
• Nonprofit leaders and board members seeking partnerships and visibility
• Newcomers eager to meet people and contribute locally
• Curious community-minded folks ready to learn, connect, and discover what’s possible

✨ Why Attend:

• Connect naturally with other business professionals, civic leaders, and community changemakers
• Share ideas and experiences that support both personal growth and community well-being
• Discover people and opportunities you didn’t know you were missing
• Leave with one small action you’re ready to take—and the relationships to support it

💬 Why It Matters: One recent attendee shared:

“I’ve been to many community connecting events where I felt nervous and intimidated. At Connect for Good, I did not feel those emotions at all. The atmosphere was very inviting and —it made me feel comfortable to connect."
