Shawnee Area Networking
The Lokal Link cultivates connection and growth by bringing together professionals and leaders to build relationships, strengthen business, and enrich our community.
This Month’s Lokal Spotlight
Legacy Parenting Center
One of our favorite parts of The Lokal Lunch is watching new connections turn into real community impact.
After Legacy Parenting Center joined us as our July Spotlight, five local businesses signed up to become diaper drop-off locations for their upcoming National Diaper Need Awareness Week campaign.
In our latest Spotlight article, you'll learn about the work Legacy is doing to support local families, why 1 in 2 babies experience diaper need, and how your business or organization can become one of 100 community partners helping make a difference this September.
Rooted in Community Built for Growth
About The Lokal Link
The Lokal Link is a Shawnee-area networking group for small-town professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners who want more than surface-level connections.
We believe growth happens through genuine relationships, shared experiences, and access to the right tools, without needing to drive to the metro or buy a $100 ticket just to network. Our events are free, welcoming, and rooted in community. While we do offer a membership that provides additional value, our networking events will always be free.
From mentoring and accountability groups to social gatherings and business development opportunities, The Lokal Link exists to help you grow your business and your support system.
Whether you're running a small business, leading a nonprofit, working independently, or just getting started, we’ve got space for you. This is networking for real people, building real community, right where we live.
