Hi, Reader,

Welcome to The WPP Connector!

We’re Halfway Through the Year.
How’s Your Referral Network Flowing?

Can you believe we’ve hit the halfway point of the year? 😲 Now’s the perfect time to pause and check in: how is your networking and referral process going? Are your connections strong, and your efforts paying off? Or are there a few gaps that need closing?

If things aren’t quite clicking the way you hoped, don’t worry — we’ve got plenty of ways to reignite your momentum. 💥 With energizing events, fresh opportunities to connect, and spaces designed to get you back on track, this is your moment to reset and refocus.

Let’s finish strong — together. 💪🔥

🚲🍻 Beer, Bike & Paddle Happy Hour

The Ultimate Outdoor Networking Experience!

Next week, we’re taking networking outside — the Wisconsin way — and you’re invited to join the fun!

The WPP Downtown Chapter is hosting its first-ever Beer, Bike & Paddle Happy Hour at the iconic Biergarten at Olbrich Park, right on the beautiful shores of Lake Monona. This is your chance to mix business with summer fun in one of Madison’s most scenic spots.

🌞 Here’s what’s happening:​
• Cruise in on your bike for a laid-back ride along the lakeshore
• Paddle up in your kayak or canoe for a peaceful float before happy hour
• Then, join us at the Biergarten to relax under the trees, sip a refreshing brew, and make powerful new connections

💬 Why come?​
Because networking is better with sunshine, fresh air, and a cold drink in hand! This event is all about building real relationships in a casual, outdoor setting.

👥 Bring a friend, colleague, or future WPP member!​
This is the perfect opportunity to introduce someone new to the WPP community while enjoying the best of summer in Madison.

✨ Let’s make waves — in business and on the lake!​
See you at the Biergarten next week!​

💓 Network With Purpose at Our Summer Event With a Heart!

Join us for the WPP Summer Networking Event with a Heart — a special evening where meaningful connections and community impact go hand in hand. This isn’t just another networking event... it’s your chance to make a difference while you mingle.

👉 Did you know? According to the American Heart Association, immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival after cardiac arrest — yet only about 46% of people who need it actually receive it in time.

That’s why we’re combining casual networking with an opportunity to learn life-saving skills — and support heart health for all. ❤️

✨ Here’s what’s in store:​
• Easygoing networking with fellow WPP members
• Refreshing drinks + tasty appetizers
• A silent auction, CPR training, and more ways to give back

❤️ 100% of proceeds support the American Heart Association and the Heart Walk, helping fund critical research, education, and heart health initiatives.

🎟️ Reserve your spot now:​
