Our May Business Connect Luncheon held on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at The Oaks Grille, brought together a fantastic group of local professionals for an engaging and insightful discussion centered on building strong customer relationships. This month’s panel of local business owners and leaders shared their expertise on the importance of creating intentional customer touchpoints, maintaining consistency in delivering exceptional experiences, and how a focus on customer retention plays a vital role in long-term business growth and brand loyalty.

A sincere thank you to our panelists for their time, insight, and willingness to share real-world strategies that our business community can put into practice. Your perspectives made for a valuable and thought-provoking program!

Yorkville American Legion Post 489 was our Monthly Business Host, and they shared updates on the many events and opportunities happening at the Legion. Thank you for being such a welcoming and engaged community partner!

Lastly, we are grateful for the continued support of our Annual Business Luncheon Sponsors:
