I am a native Tucsonan, attended TUSD schools, Pima and UA. Have lived in a variety of places but, happily, always return to Tucson. I have a variety of interests including digging in the dirt, dining out as much as possible, snow skiing 30-45 days a year, donating my time to various entities including ABA (Arizona Builder’s Alliance) NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) and THE EVENT 2020 and, in my spare time, working diligently for ARCpoint Labs of Tucson and not necessarily in that particular order!

We

network

differently

Connect was created by three Tucson business owners who wanted to bring a new concept to networking.

Bobbi Still, Affinity for Design, co-founder says,

“I wanted to belong to a networking group devoted to helping my company grow with other like-minded business owners. I visualized a networking atmosphere where individuals were being supported, not tracked for their performance in growing the group. That is why I am proud to say, Connect does not have a membership fee, rather, a marketing fee dedicated to marketing your business to others.”

I believe that an impactful agenda focused on relevant business topics and quality activities will attract other like-minded business owners. Together we will learn and grow!

  • Meeting My Business Goals

    Connect is focused on doing business. This group is going to help me with my business goals.

    Dianne

  • Relationships

    My very first meeting I reached out to 4 business owners and met 4 business owners.

    Marc

  • Focus on Learning

    I really enjoyed the focus on learning more about running my business from other experts.

    Margret

  • Like-Minded Individuals

    I am meeting like-minded individuals who want to grow their business.

    Susan

  • Trusted Resources

    It is a great group for meeting trusted resources for my customers.
