"As someone who has attended several Sound ConneXions meetings over the last year, it's plain to see that if you have a concept you want to birth that will somehow prove valuable to the community, or you're just fascinated by others who do, and you want to see where that fascination may lead, this is where you should be!  Led by expert facilitators, SC sessions are simple and rich at the same time.  Sound ConneXions is a community asset like no other.  Come see for yourself!"
Dan Kennedy, PCC -- Creator and Facilitator, Next Step Coaching Circles for Clergy  

"The Sound ConneXions Forum was extremely helpful and fun. I met so many people with innovative and fascinating business ideas that gave me more motivation to pursue my own. The collaborative spirit was energizing and I look forward to participating in future events. I made multiple solid connections with others. The SC facilitators' skills, enthusiasm and zeal are fabulous! "
Mary Starks -- Co-Founder, Guys and Girls Next Door
"I marveled at the genuineness, unpretentiousness, and openness of the 40+ (mostly strangers to one another) people in attendance.  It was a day that stirred my heart and intellect.  I hope you can make it on 7/10!  I guarantee you won't be disappointed by the people, activities, and connections"
Claudette Blagsvedt -- Community Leader
