What is WAG? It is a place where business professionals can develop new leads and contacts. It is NOT stuffy or overly impressed with itself! We meet twice a month - no name tags or business attire required. We balance a serious agenda with a casual atmosphere and friendship. Members become part of a unique community of entrepreneurial professionals and develop lasting relationships with leaders in related fields.

The Benefits of Membership: We help introduce you to professionals who are interested in developing referral sources. Our primary objective is to help you network 1-on-1 with other professionals in the local community. We also help organize local networking events and meeting groups so that our members have a regular place to meet with their referral sources.
