DCC Social this Friday! ⛳️⚾️

We’re getting together for a golf simulator / KU baseball social this Friday and would love to see a great turnout. These events are always a great chance to connect outside of work, meet new people, support local relationships, and just have a good time with the community.

Feel free to bring guests, coworkers, friends, or anyone interested in networking with an awesome group of local professionals and community members.

If you plan on coming, shoot us a message on FB so I can get a rough headcount!

Looking forward to seeing everyone this week!

Another great example of what makes Lawrence such a special community. Thank you to everyone who came out to support Nesreen Iskandrani ribbon cutting for Pure Maintenance of Kansas . It meant a lot seeing so many familiar faces and local leaders there to celebrate this milestone.

DCC continues to be about more than just networking — it’s about showing up for one another, supporting local businesses, and building real relationships within our community.

Another great DCC meeting this morning. We had the opportunity to hear from Kristy Miller with Big Brothers Big Sisters and listen to some truly impactful success stories about the difference mentorship and community support can make in a child’s life. It was a great reminder that sometimes the smallest investment of time, guidance, and encouragement can completely change someone’s future. Grateful to have organizations like this making such a positive impact in our community. Big Brothers Big Sisters of America

Huge thank you to Dennis Spratt with Wealth Management of Kansas City for presenting at Douglas County Connections today!

Dennis always brings incredible value to our group, and today was no exception. His insights on the true value of a business and how to think strategically about long-term growth were not only informative but incredibly impactful.
