Leads Group
Building Trust. Growing Businesses. Strengthening Community.
For more than 17 years, the Forest Leads Group has offered local professionals a space to build real relationships -- not just exchange business cards. This referral-bassed networking group meets every other week to connect, share updates, and support one another's success in a collaborative, non-competitive environment.
The Forest Leads Group supports more than just business development. It's part of our broader mission to grow the regional economy, foster leadership, and create opportunities that benefit the entire Bedford area.
