We asked you to share any networking groups you participate in. Because if you’re like us, you’re ready to connect with humans in real life — instead of just talking to your computer screen or your pet.

Today, with your answers and a little research, we’re sharing this list of opportunities to connect in Lexington.

Bluegrass SHRM | “The Bluegrass Society for Human Resource Management is a wonderful group for anyone in HR. We have a monthly meeting which is great for networking + has a wealth of information for professional development.” — Reader Amanda S.

Young Professionals of Lexington | “I started this group earlier in the year — right now it’s just a LinkedIn and Facebook group that’s free for young professionals to join. The focus is to have a social event + a community service event once a month. — Reader Nick H.

Bluegrass Tourism and Marketing Association | “We host monthly meetings that are held in and around Lexington to help promote businesses and attractions.
