Our Founding Members formed CWC from a passion to help others grow their businesses while positively impacting our communities.
(1)

We are a closed networking group, allowing one member per classification to join. Our Primary
Objective is to grow each other’s businesses with quality referrals and to add value to each other’s
business offerings by providing services for each other’s clients and prospective clients. Our Secondary Objective is to bless others in the community through giving opportunities. We meet twice per month, on the 2nd Wednesday and 4th Tuesday of each month. The 2nd Wednesday meetings are our “Business Meetings” and occur on Zoom 7:30am-9am. Our 4th
Tuesday meetings called “CWC Cause Nights” occur in person at different locations each month. Attendance at the 2nd Wednesday meetings on Zoom is required and attendance at the 4th Tuesday meetings is highly encouraged. We rotate monthly “Hosts” among each member of the group. Our Host each month is given the opportunity to highlight their business, and support a Charity of their choice with the proceeds from those who attend Cause Night. Membership is by Invitation and Approval only. Our expectation is that Members will build relationships
during and outside of the monthly meetings and pass referrals to the other members inside our
group. In concordance with our Primary Objective, applicants may not be eligible if they are
already members of another closed networking group. Applications are completed
via a link to a Google Form and can be obtained by email request.

What a great Cause Night hosted by Ron Burback with Hancock Whitney Bank!
We had the privilege of meeting Bobbi and Bee, two wonderful volunteers with Farmhouse Animal & Nature Sanctuary. The sanctuary was built on the belief that when people take the time to listen, animals will show them what they need. Owners Dave and Lisa continue to honor that legacy while bringing their own ideas and love for animals to the sanctuary’s mission.
It was such a wonderful evening supporting an amazing local cause and networking with everyone. Thank you to Ron for hosting and to everyone who joined us! 🐾💙
