Heart of Rhode Island Networking & Referral Group

The Heart of Rhode Island Networking & Referral Group was founded in March 2022—and it just keeps getting better!

Led by Deb Honor and our powerhouse Heart of RI Committee—Dawn Apajee, Aaron Bishop, Cathy Andreozzi, Ray Conover, Xander Honor, Lisa Jones, Stephanie McNamara, John Pagliarini, Stacey Silva, and Bridget VanDemark—this event has sold out every single month since September 2023, bringing together 150 professionals, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to connect, collaborate, and grow.

Each month, generous sponsors provide coffee and breakfast treats that fuel the real magic: authentic conversations, shared opportunities, and meaningful community.

We are incredibly grateful to be hosted by CIC Providence, and send a huge thank you to Greer Yoder and her amazing team for the warm welcome and continued support.

☕ And of course, our ongoing gratitude to Fundati Coffee and owner for keeping our mornings energized and our conversations flowing!

💙 A heartfelt shoutout to our October sponsor: Pam Verklan and Children’s Friend — thank you for fueling our mission to connect and empower Rhode Island’s professional community!

💡 New to Heart of RI? This is the perfect place to start! Whether you’re building your network, growing your business, exploring new opportunities, or just curious—we’d LOVE to meet you, support your goals, and welcome you to this incredible community.

🎟 PLEASE NOTE: All ticket sales are final. We have a NO REFUND POLICY. If you are unable to attend, your ticket will be released to the next person on the waitlist.
