🌼 July Purpose Forum: Fireside Chat on Community Health

🗓️ July 31, 2025 | 11:30 AM–1:00 PM

📍Mesa County Workforce Center | 512 29½ Road, Grand Junction | Free Parking

We’re bringing public leadership into conversation with everyday leadership.

This isn’t just a talk—it’s an invitation to connect, reflect, and imagine what’s possible for our community’s health, together.

Enjoy a fireside chat with JJ Fletcher, Mesa County Commissioner, and Xavier Crockett, Executive Director of Mesa County Public Health. Both bring fresh perspective and energy to their roles—and will share their visions for a healthier Mesa County, plus one thing about their work that might surprise you.

💡 What to Expect:

After the fireside chat, you’ll engage in reflection and small-group conversation about how we can support mental health as a community.

In just one hour, you’ll have the chance to:

• Hear local leaders reflect on health, leadership, and service
• Share your ideas in a welcoming small-group exchange
• Connect with others who care about community well-being

This isn’t traditional networking—it’s connection with purpose.

✨ 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."

Our unique approach to netweaving sets Connect for Good apart.

Instead of asking "What’s in it for me?" —we ask"What’s in it for us?" We focus on collective impact, shared success, and weaving together the threads of our community together.

Whether you're new to the area or deeply involved already, the Purpose Forum offers inspiration, direction, and a chance to be part of something bigger.
