  Who doesn't love a good cup of coffee?

  
  

  Isn't it great that we live in the Kansas City Metro Area that is blessed with so many great cafes? So we thought, why not do informal coffee meetings so we all get to meet each other, learn, and build our network?

  Consider yourself invited. It's a simple, informal coffee session... good for networking, relaxing, and also to ask any questions to our Membership team and board members.
