As we close out the year, it is worth taking a moment to reflect on what has made this chapter special. Not just the numbers, not just the milestones, but the people, the energy, and the momentum that have defined who we are today.
This year was about growth in every sense of the word.
Our members showed up consistently, leaned into the process, and committed to building real relationships. The result was a chapter that felt energized, connected, and aligned around a shared goal: helping one another succeed in business and in life.
A Year Defined by Momentum
One of the most meaningful accomplishments this year was the collective impact we created together. Over the course of the year, the chapter closed out strong with approximately $4.4 million in business passed. That number matters, but what matters more is how it was achieved.
It came from trust built over time.
It came from accountability.
It came from members doing what they said they would do.
Referrals were not treated as transactions. They were treated as opportunities to represent one another well, protect each other’s reputations, and deliver real value.
That mindset is what separates a good chapter from a great one.
Stronger Members, Stronger Chapter
This year also marked a noticeable shift in the depth of relationships within the room. Members didn’t just know what each other did. They understood how each other worked, who they worked best with, and how to confidently introduce one another to the right people.
That level of familiarity does not happen by accident. It happens because members invest time outside the weekly meeting. It happens because conversations go deeper. It happens because people care.
As a result, newer members integrated quickly, long standing members leveled up their businesses, and the chapter as a whole became more cohesive.
A Culture People Want to Be Part Of
Something else became clear this year. The culture of the chapter matters.
People want to be part of a group where they feel supported, challenged, and recognized. This year, that culture showed up in how members celebrated wins, supported one another through challenges, and maintained a positive, forward focused attitude.
Meetings felt purposeful.
Energy stayed high.
Participation stayed strong.
That environment makes a difference. It keeps people engaged. It keeps people motivated. And it makes Wednesday mornings something members genuinely look forward to.
Looking Ahead With Confidence
As we move into the new year, the foundation is already in place.
We are heading forward with:
A stronger, more connected group of professionals
Clear expectations around accountability and participation
A deeper understanding of how to help one another grow
Momentum that carries beyond the meeting room
The focus moving forward is not to reinvent what works, but to continue refining it. Strong one to ones. Clear communication. Consistent follow through. And a commitment to helping every member get the most out of their membership.
An Invitation to the Right People
As the chapter continues to grow, the goal is not simply to add seats. It is to welcome the right professionals who align with the culture, the values, and the mindset of the group.
This is a chapter built on trust, effort, and mutual respect. The businesses represented here take their work seriously and take pride in supporting one another.
If you are someone who values relationships, believes in showing up, and wants to be part of a community where business growth and personal connection go hand in hand, this chapter is moving in the right direction.
Closing the Year Strong
This year was something to be proud of. Not because it was perfect, but because it was intentional.
The chapter grew stronger.
Members grew more confident.
Relationships grew deeper.
And that is exactly how lasting success is built.
Here’s to closing out the year with momentum and stepping into the next one with clarity, confidence, and a chapter that continues to raise the bar.
