Hi, Reader,

Welcome to The WPP Connector!

☀️ Summer Event with a Heart ❤️ – August 21

Our Summer Event with a Heart is just around the corner on Wednesday, August 21, and registration is growing fast! This is more than just another WPP networking event—it’s a chance to come together with intention, community spirit, and impact.

We're partnering with the American Heart Association to spotlight the importance of heart health and CPR awareness—and yes, there will be optional hands-only CPR training available at the event!

Here are the Top 5 Reasons to Support the American Heart Association through this event:

1. Every second counts – Only 46% of people who need CPR receive it in time.
2. You can be the difference – Learn how to respond with confidence in a crisis.
3. Heart disease is the #1 killer – Awareness saves lives.
4. Empowered communities are healthier communities – And WPP leads by example.
5. It feels good to give back – While connecting with other professionals who care.

Join us for this meaningful event that blends purpose-driven networking with real-world impact.

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

Meeting Outside the Conference Room

☀️ Downtown Chapter Takes It Outside!

This summer, the Downtown Chapter has been shaking things up—taking their bi-weekly meetings beyond the conference room and into the heart of Madison. From cozy cafés to local small businesses and sunny patios, they’re making the most of the beautiful Wisconsin summer while supporting the community around them.

And the result? Fresh energy, deeper connections, and a whole new vibe to their networking.

Hosting meetings in different spaces not only adds variety—it also gives members a chance to experience the local business scene and build relationships in a more relaxed and inspiring setting. Whether it’s grabbing coffee at a local shop or gathering under the sun at a favorite neighborhood spot, these outdoor and on-the-go meetings are proving that a change of scenery can go a long way.

🌿 Thinking about trying this with your chapter?​
Now’s the perfect time to take advantage of summer in Wisconsin! Consider hosting a future chapter meeting at a local park, member business, or inviting community spot. You might just find that a new location brings new ideas, new guests, and renewed enthusiasm.

👏 Way to lead by example, Downtown Chapter!​
Let’s keep finding creative ways to connect and grow—together.

And if you're not a WPP member yet? ​
Don't miss out! -- now’s the perfect time to jump in and join the fun!
