Networking is one of the main reasons people join Central Exchange.
Of course you can connect with people at any CX event, but the programs below
are designed with networking in mind.
Business Collaboration Network
Grow your business by learning and applying referral and networking strategies that go beyond saying "hello." Participants plant the seeds of success in a mutually helpful environment.
Meets: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., third Friday of the month / CX South.
Facilitator: Breandan Filbert
ConnecX
ConnecX is CX’s very own ‘First Friday’ where we surround ourselves with people instead of art! Have breakfast and make connections while enjoying fun and insightful exchanges designed to help us get to know each other better.
Meets: 7:30 a.m., first Friday of every month / CX South
Facilitators: Melinda Bartling and Lynette Ubel
Esprit de Corps - Connecting Members Under Age 35
For the young at heart or members under age 35, Esprit de Corps meets the specific needs of younger Central Exchange members. Variety in programming and flexible meeting time and location are key to this group.

Girls Night Out
Here's the perfect opportunity to dine out in trendy new restaurants all around town. This group meets monthly at eateries throughout the metro area.
Meets: Third Wednesday of the month at various locations.
Facilitator: Melinda Bartling
Repurposing for Powerful Women
This group is designed to meet the needs of a growing demographic within CX and the KCarea - those 55 and older who are nearing or who have retired from their career positions. The goal is to develop a community of these “repurposing” peers and bring them together for programs and services particularly of interest to their demographic. At monthly meetings the group shares ideas, resources, “how-to’s”, fun and laughter and consider the next steps in life.
Meets: Third Friday of the month at the Downtown location
Facilitators: Margaret Keating, Jackie Snyder and Sally Winship
Resource and Referral Breakfast
A less structured monthly networking experience offering a fun and productive way to obtain business referrals. Come prepared to tell what you do, ask for referrals and help other make the contacts they need.
Meets: 8 a.m., fourth Friday of every month / CX South.
Facilitator: Karen Rowinsky
You Never Can Tell
This is a no-agenda meeting that gives you the opportunity to get together with a varied group over lunch. Participants come to take a break and meet a few people they don't know…because you can never tell!
Meets: 11:45 a.m., last Friday of every month / CX Downtown
Facilitator: Chris Becicka
