Who We Are
Connect Marquette was created by the Lake Superior Community Partnership in 2010 (originally named 40 Below) as a professional development organization designed to introduce and engage individuals to the County’s business community and help them expand their networking opportunities.
Events are held at various locations throughout the County. The goal of these events is to create an opportunity for members to interact, exchange ideas and connect outside of the workplace.
Whether your goal is to develop your professional network, increase your social circle, better connect to civic and philanthropic activities in the community or just have fun, we have many activities and events created just for you!

They are a diverse group of individuals with different interests, experiences, and professional backgrounds but they all share a common thread: their passion for Marquette.
