WHO WE ARE
We are a relationship driven group of small business owners and professionals who have come together to build meaningful connections, educate others, and serve our community.
WHO WE SERVE
Most of our professional members live and work close by, serving customers in the Omaha, NE metro area. While some may work virtually to serve a broader area, we all believe in providing an exceptional client experience every time.
OUR STORY
Founded by Nicole Redinbaugh in early 2023, we set out to be different than other area networking groups by prioritizing genuine relationships and consistently providing free resources for our community and individual members.
CONNECT WITH US
All candidates are encouraged to meet with at least two members and the chapter President in one-on-one meetings before being voted into the group. Strong individual relationships are just as important as the group as a whole.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
We work hard to provide a universally accessible option to all business owners, no matter their budget. We appreciate your time investment in our group and understand it already comes as an opportunity cost for your business. Networking is a critical cornerstone for local business owners and we want to make sure it is a mutually beneficial endeavor.
There are currently no monthly dues required of our members. That said, however, we do occasionally ask for nominal contributions to help cover individual costs of social events such as lunches out, potluck events, etc.
These events are not mandatory, but we don't want financial resources to limit participation. Don't hesitate to discuss alternative arrangements with the chapter president.
There are two types of memberships, a Facebook group member and an in-person group member who consistently attends meetings at one of our chapters.
In-Person Members: Each chapter holds one exclusive seat per industry for approved in-person group members who remain actively engaged and meet attendance guidelines. Examples include, but are not limited to, insurance, real estate, mortgage lending, financial advisor, roofer, etc. Guests in overlapping industries may be permitted to participate at the discretion of group leadership.
Facebook Group Members: We allow for more industry overlap in our Facebook group as the requirements for initial approval and participation are not as involved. There is no exact number of businesses per industry. The limit is determined at the discretion of the group Admins.
All Group Members Must:
Reside and operate business primarily in the Greater Omaha Metro area
