Register Today for an In-Person Orange County Summer Coffee Connect.

EVENT DATE: Friday, August 22, 2025
TIME: 9 AM – 11 AM Pacific Time
LOCATION: Maldon`s Bistro, Irvine, CA
FEE: $15 per person

Before summer slips away, join us for a relaxed, in-person coffee meet-up with Dr. Pamela Williamson, President/CEO of WBEC-West and the Orange County Forum! This is going to be a great space to talk about your new certification, or, if you’ve been around a while, to share your experiences, ask questions, and let us know what’s on your mind. Some of the best networking happens in-person, and this coffee meet-up will be a great opportunity to build relationships in a casual setting over coffee.
