Ely for Ely Monthly Gatherings

Boundary Waters Connect and the Entrepreneur Fund are collaborating to host a monthly networking and professional development program for Ely-area entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and engaged community members. ​​​​

Meeting locations will change month to month. We will begin with continental breakfast, facilitated networking, and community announcements at 7:30am, and the educational program will begin at 8:00am. These events are free and do not require pre-registration to attend. Our goal is that these consistent events present minimal barriers to engagement.
​
The educational program will be made available to view remotely via Zoom. (Join Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82315601566)
