Erika Laws gets how tough networking can be for the new small business owner. Laws had gone through a career change in 2013 and noticed a lack of informal networking opportunities geared toward new small business owners.

To meet that need, she formed Impactful Women NW in 2014. The group–since renamed Impactful People NW–started with 20 attendees at its first event and has grown to nearly 100 attendees at up to four events each month. Impactful People also puts on quarterly conferences and the ConnectFEST networking event every summer.

Each Impactful event is geared toward bringing people together and making the networking experience as accessible as possible: Monthly social hours are free to all, conference admission is kept to a minimum, and the group seeks to pair volunteers with local organizations as a way to give back.

For her part, Laws can’t help but marvel at the connections formed at Impactful events. “I love hearing the stories of how people met at an Impactful event,” she says. “Whatever their goals, I hope it takes them one step closer in that direction.”
