Central Kansas Business Connection

Chartered in 1937
HISTORY -- This association was organized by Mary Jones, owner of the
Hutchinson Credit Bureau in 1937.  The first name of the organization was
Credit Women's Breakfast Club.   Since that time, we have
had a few name changes but our purpose remains the same to promote
credit education.  

CURRENT -- Our new name is "Central Kansas Business Connection"
affiliated with Credit Professionals International.   We chose that name
since we have men and women from Hutchinson and Wichita.    

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT --  Four members have earned their
credit certification. We also have had three members become Credit
Professional of the Year on the International level and a Past International
President of CPI.   

NETWORKING -- We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:00  
PM for a dinner meeting at a local Hutchinson restaurant.   Please call one
of the officers listed below to be a part of our networking association.
