Celebrating New Executives at
Coffee Connection 

Traverse Connect is hosting our bi-monthly Coffee Connection on October 8 at the Hagerty Garage! But wait, there’s more…We will be recognizing and celebrating the New Executives of businesses and organizations across the region. Coffee Connection is not only a fantastic opportunity to connect with our team and network with other members within the Traverse City business community, but this event will also be a chance to meet some of the region’s newest leaders and to make them feel welcome in our community. 

View the list of New Executives and their positions on the event page here.
 
Coffee will be generously provided by Biggby Coffee , and pastries will be provided by MSU Federal Credit Union! Thank you as well to the Presenting Sponsor of the New Executive Welcome, Alfie Logo Gear , and our Host, Hagerty.
