Coffee Hour

Coffee & Connections

Start your day with conversation, connection, and community insight.

Now with two dates and two locations

Our Coffee Hour series is a casual, welcoming gathering where local business owners, civic leaders, and community members come together over coffee to learn, share, and connect.


Each month features a guest speaker or panel who will introduce key resources, new initiatives, or emerging opportunities that impact our region. Whether you're a business leader, nonprofit professional, or engaged citizen, this is a chance to stay informed and build stronger ties across the Northeast Kingdom.


Join us in Lyndon on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 AM or in Newport on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30 AM - see below for upcoming event details.


Free to join, no RSVP required—just show up, grab a cup, and join the conversation.

Thank you to all who joined us this month and shared a glimpse into your business' hopes, worries, successes, and needs. It's through opportunities to connect like these that we come to understand and support one another more effectively. 


And it's opportunities like these that allow the chamber to better serve our members and the region as a whole. 


💡 Up next:

You can catch the next Coffee & Connections later this month in Newport on October 21st.
