Our event yesterday to celebrate the 23rd year Anniversary for Xperience Connections - Networking for Women was EPIC!! What an incredibly talented, committed group of leaders!! XC, which was originally founded by Bonnie Ross-Parker as Joy of Connecting, has always been a way for women to safely and powerfully connect. 👏👏

The 💜 of XC is women in business coming together to create a safe place to support, share a meal, and refer each other! What better way to grow your business?!!

📆 2025 has started off with several new locations around the city of Atlanta. We have helped women launch in Newnan, Fayetteville, Marietta, Roswell, & Cu***ng /Dawsonville areas, with Woodstock and Loganville launching in September!! There are rumors of expansion into South Carolina (🚗 roadtrip!!) and even more before year end!

We are grateful that our XC CEO , Carol Dressler Neal was able to facilitate and attend our Anniversary Celebration 💜!!

Carol honored "seasoned leaders" Andrea Young, our leader and the very first leader (23 years!!!) & Susan Weaver Guthrie who has been leading for 13 years- most recently partnering with Christine Powers as . 🏆 Carol also recognized (formerly XC Woodstock) leader Lexi Whitlark for her incredible service to this community by welcoming in hundreds of women to our Xperience Connections Networking for Women Facebook group, taking the time to introduce each of them personally. 👏👏👏

Several of our newest leaders were able to attend: Cathy Story Page (co-leading ***ngDawsonville with Catherine Johnson) ⭐️ Polina Denisova recently launching ⭐️
Amy Anderson launching in September ⭐️ Monique Myrick (after MANY YEARS as a faithful attendee) launching TBD.

It's the leaders who are committed every month to cooking a meal, hosting 15-20 women in their homes, volunteering and serving in their communities, and represent the mission of XC that we applaud and celebrate! There were several leaders who were unable to attend for various reasons, but we know they were there in spirit! Our friend and precious leader who left this world too soon, Venetta Demos Stathis was remembered as we celebrated her funny, quirky personality and her years as co-leader of .
