The CHQ Professionals Group is excited to host its third coffee meetup of the season. These meetups provide a free and inclusive space for professionals across Chautauqua County to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen community ties in a relaxed, casual setting.

The next coffee meetup will take place at Sacred Grounds Coffee House at 6 Cleveland Ave, Lily Dale on Thursday from 8 to 9:30 a.m.

This event is part of an ongoing series of networking opportunities designed to bring local professionals together to share their work and build meaningful connections. Throughout the year, CHQ Professionals will host meetups at businesses across the county, including Fredonia, Cassadaga, Lily Dale, Bemus Point, Westfield, and Mayville.

CHQ Professionals is an initiative of the Chautauqua County Partnership for Economic Growth (CCPEG) and is open to professionals of all backgrounds and industries.

“Our goal is to create simple, welcoming opportunities for people to connect and feel part of something bigger happening here in Chautauqua County,” said Monica Simpson, co-chair of the CHQ Professionals Group. “These coffee meetups are a great way to build relationships, share ideas, and support the local businesses that make our communities vibrant.”

In addition to hosting events, the CHQ Professionals Group distributes a monthly newsletter and is actively expanding volunteer opportunities related to workforce and career development.
