Diversity in Business Network @ Mellow Mushroom

Connect. Collaborate. Celebrate. Join us for an evening edition of Diversity in Business Network, bringing together LGBTQ+ professionals, business owners, community leaders, and allies for meaningful connections in a relaxed, social setting. Whether you’re looking to spark a new partnership, exchange ideas, expand your referral network, or simply meet more of the people shaping our local business community, this is your chance to connect beyond the workday.
