Today at Fort Worden, we gathered with Robert Egger and neighbors from across our community, and the message was clear: what we need is here. 💛

What stuck with us is how much of this work is about place. The people, the skills, and the resources we need are already here on the Olympic Peninsula. When we build something together, right where we live, it lasts.

That's the heart of QEC. Our members across East Jefferson County aren't competing, we're a collective, and we're better for it.

Thank you to the Jefferson Community Foundation for facilitating the conversation and bringing local nonprofit leaders together, and to Planted for the beautiful spread.

Looking for a beautiful outdoor Pacific Northwest venue that also supports a wonderful mission? Take a look at Camp Beausite Northwest. 🌲
Tucked into 55 acres of forest and meadowland overlooking Beausite Lake in Chimacum, Camp Beausite Northwest has been empowering children and adults of all abilities since 1989. When you gather there, you're supporting that work too.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our September get-together. After months of pouring energy into events for others, it meant a lot to pause and connect with other vendors in the community.

This month's mixer is at White Lotus Farm, and if you haven't been, you're in for a treat. Beyond being a beautiful wedding venue, flower and produce fields, they're home to a micro-bakery, a new farm stand and host farm stays in their cottage property, farmhouse suite, and RV camping.

Sept 9 ~ 5pm-7pm

Join us this month for a relaxed, potluck-style evening to catch up, swap stories from the summer, and reconnect. Bring a dish to share. Plates, cutlery and drinks will be provided.

📍 Reminder: August Mix & Meet is TOMORROW!

Join us Monday, August 17 from 5–7pm at Sailor Vineyards for our monthly networking gathering. 🍷

Come see this one-of-a-kind spot for yourself — Sailor Vineyards doubles as both an event venue and a vacation rental, and it's a beautiful reason to get out and connect with fellow event pros across the Olympic Peninsula.
We'll also have Heidi from Tipsy Gypsy — QEC's board president — walking us through "How to Sell to Each Personality Type." Whether you're booking weddings, corporate events, or everything in between, it's a skill worth sharping.
✨ Open to non-members, too! If you've been curious about the Collective, this is a great low-key way to meet us.
RSVP in the comments so we know to expect you. See you there! 👋
