Imagine a world where people naturally contribute to each other, knowing that when we are in service to others, we transform lives.
We have a full schedule planned so please plan to arrive by 11:30am to network and enjoy a delicious Luncheon. Our event will begin promptly at Noon.
Join us and Connect with Exceptional Colleagues
You are invited to join us on Tuesday, September 10th, for a very special Exceptional Connections Networking Luncheon as we celebrate our 15th Anniversary! This milestone event will be an inspiring gathering, facilitated by the dynamic Debbie Page, and will feature a panel of long-term Champions who have recently celebrated significant milestones: Marcelle Allen – Dreamosity, celebrating 15 years; Molly Klipp – Carefree Beauty Permanent Makeup Artist, celebrating 10 years; and our very own Exceptional Connections Founder and Chief Champion Connector, Cyndi O’Neill-Dady.
As of August 11th, Exceptional Connections proudly marked 15 years fostering a thriving community where collaboration, support, and positive feedback are the cornerstones of our success. Our community has grown and flourished, and in November 2023, we launched the Champion program—ushering in a new chapter of connection and growth. We are just getting started, and we invite you to be a part of this journey.
Whether you’re a long-time member or new to our community, this luncheon is the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who value connection, mutual success, and the power of having each other’s backs. Come celebrate with us, gain insights from our esteemed panel, and continue to build the legacy of Exceptional Connections!

Gain valuable exposure by including your business materials in swag bags distributed to 45-50 entrepreneurs, with additional recognition during the event, post-networking emails, and on social media, plus enjoy a delicious 3-course meal at The Old Spaghetti Factory.
