Jennifer Cummings2023-09-18This is a great group of business owners. I have gotten a lot of referrals from this group. I have met a lot of business owners who have become great friends. Kat Williams cares for each member and she loves to make connections happen. I see it all over her face when she sees it happening It's great to watch her light up when connections happen.

New customers came from many of those connections made and even though I left that employer, those connections continue to use their service which is wonderful! I have also done business with many of the connections made as well, including the purchase of my home, banking, and more. I was proud of my membership with CBC because of the way that the organization gave back to the community and the support of youth entrepreneurs in Springfield. The small investment gave much more in return and well worth it.lucinda sparks2023-09-08Kat has made me feel so welcome to this new community and I have connected with several businesses that have been able to provide my business with servicesBrian&Karen Rohlman2023-09-08A great Networking Group that meets multiple times a week in different locations in the 417 area.
