About this Event
The Heart of Rhode Island is still going strong, and April is already in full bloom!
Founded in March 2022, this monthly networking and referral group has become Rhode Island’s go-to gathering for authentic connection, community, and collaboration. With 150+ attendees each month and a sell-out streak since launch, this isn’t just another networking event, it’s a movement with heart. ❤️
Led by Deb Honor and our incredible Heart of RI Committee:
Dawn Apajee, Cathy Andreozzi, Aaron Bishop, Mark Berger, Michael Cabral, Elizabeth Hamilton, Xander Honor, Lisa Jones, Sarah McCooey, Stephanie McNamara, John Pagliarini, Stacey Silva, and Bridget VanDemark...this is where real relationships begin, ideas come to life, and Rhode Island’s changemakers unite.
This month’s Heart of Rhode Island breakfast is proudly sponsored by:
Stephanie McNamara and the team at — a national leader with local heart, delivering customized insurance and risk management solutions with integrity and care.
We’re also beyond thankful to our generous hosts at CIC Providence!!
Special thanks to Greer Yoder, Noah Yandow, and their amazing team for always welcoming us with open arms and big smiles.
And of course… a HUGE thank‑you to Fundati Coffee and Alicia DeCastro for fueling our mornings with locally roasted warmth and gluten free treats!
