It’s time to Rise & Thrive!

We know schedules can be packed with work, family, and other commitments. If evening events don’t fit your routine, Rise & Thrive Coffee Connect is the perfect way to start your day with great conversations and community insights.

Join us this month on Tuesday, March 18, at the YMCA of Greater Kalamazoo to hear from our local community partner about their impactful work in the region. Learn how they support health, wellness, and community engagement—and explore ways to get involved. Space is limited, so RSVP now.*

The Rise & Thrive Coffee Connect series is sponsored by Honor Credit Union. Together, we hope this series stokes pride in where we all live, work, and play, making us all ambassadors of Southwest Michigan. Thank you for helping us build a more connected and informed business community.
