Nonprofit network connects and equips small business leaders to grow companies, create jobs, and strengthen communities.
OCONOMOWOC, Wis., Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ENRG™ (Entrepreneurial Networking Resource Group), a nonprofit dedicated to helping small business owners with 1–250 employees, has expanded from just five chapters to 43 chapters across the U.S. and Canada in the past three months—marking one of the fastest expansions of a small-business leadership network in North America.
ENRG is a national, help-first community where entrepreneurs, operational leaders, and vetted experts come together monthly to share knowledge, solve real business challenges, and accelerate each other's success. Meetings combine practical education, peer collaboration, and accountability—empowering business owners to turn ideas into action and strengthen both their companies and their communities.
From One Room to a North American Network
What began as a small group of business owners in Fairhope has grown into a coast-to-coast movement, with recent chapters launched in Birmingham, Mobile, Santa Barbara, South Orange County, Orlando, Boca Raton, Pensacola, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Wichita, New Orleans, Twin Cities, Brainerd Lakes, Charlotte, Buffalo, Long Island, Cleveland, Lancaster, Nashville, Houston, Leesburg, Vancouver, and more.
"Small businesses are the backbone of every community," said Forrest K. Derr, ENRG Integrator Evangelist and Board Member. "What started as one facilitator doing most of the talking has turned into a movement of leaders helping each other—building stronger companies, creating jobs, and lifting entire communities."
Kyle Mealy, CEO and Co-Founder of ENRG, added, "At the core of ENRG is a belief that no entrepreneur should have to grow their business alone. What's happened in just three months is nothing short of incredible—leaders across North America are proving that when you bring the right people together with a help-first mindset, the results are exponential."
