LINC – Connecting Visions, Honoring Traditions

LINC is more than just a networking event; it’s a vibrant community committed to helping each other succeed and building a brighter future for local businesses. Our upcoming event in Ellijay, GA, is just the beginning; LINC plans to host events in multiple locations across the US, including in GA, NC, AL, MS, MI, and CO.

We know that there is a greater chance for collective success when we share our personal expertise with our communities. People and places thrive when selflessly nurtured by one another. This has been demonstrated countless times in success stories across our nation, and especially so through LINC’s namesake, Link Helmandollar, whose legacy exemplifies the values of leaving a positive impact without expectations. Link believed in fostering a culture of generosity, where individuals support each other selflessly. Our goal is to embody this same spirit in every LINC event, where attendees can connect with like-minded individuals, share their expertise, and leave with connections and perspectives that can help them achieve their goals.

We look forward to seeing you at our first collaboration and many more to come!
