Creating Meaningful Connections

Founded in 2020, West Valley Business Exchange is more than a networking group—it’s a community. We bring together local professionals who value trust, collaboration, and personal growth. Here, connections aren’t transactional; they’re meaningful and built to last.

Our Mission

Building relationships and supporting our local community through meaningful networking experiences.

Our Values

At West Valley Business Exchange, everything we do is guided by three core values: Build Connections, Support Growth, and Foster Community. These values shape the way we network, collaborate, and grow together as a group.

We believe trust is the foundation of every relationship. That’s why WVBE focuses on creating meaningful connections that go beyond business.

Personal and professional growth is at the heart of what we do. Through collaboration and shared knowledge, we help each other thrive.

We’re stronger together. WVBE creates a welcoming environment where members feel supported and connected to something bigger than themselves.

Our Story

West Valley Business Exchange began in 2020 with a simple idea: networking should feel natural, authentic, and rewarding. Founded by Jennifer Lampe, WVBE was created to redefine traditional networking. Instead of focusing on elevator pitches and business card swaps, Jennifer envisioned a group where professionals could truly connect, share experiences, and grow together. It was about more than just business—it was about building a community where trust and meaningful relationships come first.

What started as a small group has blossomed into a thriving network of local business owners and professionals. Through book discussions, supportive roundtables, and engaging member outings, WVBE has become a hub for personal and professional growth. Every event and interaction reflects our core values: building connections, supporting growth, and fostering community. Today, WVBE stands as a testament to the power of genuine relationships and the impact they can have on both business and life.
