WELCOME TO Central Penn Networking Group
where it's fun doing business!

When you become a member of CPNG, YOU ARE THE MEMBER--- NOT YOUR EMPLOYER.
IF your employer lays you off, we still welcome your presence at meetings where you can network your job searching with our 50 plus members. IN ADDITION, CPNG will list your resumé in it's classified section and in the member section.

There may not be such a thing as a "FREE LUNCH"... But there is such thing as a FREE business-to-business networking group that meets for lunch on Wednesdays. The group includes experienced professionals interested in expanding their businesses. Our core purpose is based on relationship marketing. Members receive a directory listing and continuing education via weekly presentations and leads.

The organization was born more than three years ago by five local entrepreneurs fed up with "pay-for" networking groups that generated few to no leads, sales or growth.  Leads are exchanged every Wednesday at Doc Holliday's Comedy Club Room in New Cumberland.  Lunch is optional (you pay for your own).

Membership in CPNG is FREE but applicants must attend two meetings and go through a vetting process. See our Applicant Info page for details and application form.

ATTENDANCE
Please try to attend all meetings as it will be very beneficial to your business.   The Board will be looking at high non-attenders in “high demand” categories and opening up those categories if those non-attenders do not wish to be part of the group.  A “high demand” category would be a category in which there are many people who practice that occupation and are used frequently by our membership and their referral networks.  For Example a Grocery Store Checkout Counter Scanner salesman WOULD NOT be a “high demand” category,  so their attendance would not be as important as a Realtor.
