ConnectAround promotes active lifestyles by revealing people, opportunities, and activities that are in your neighborhood. We do this providing a safe, online website that only includes neighbors, places, and events in your active adult community. We protect you from outsiders and scams. We also provide tools for your management to send updates and for your clubs and interest groups to coordinate between meetings. Like Linkedin is for your career network, ConnectAround is for your 55+ community network!

Marcie has a clear passion for the aging population.  Backed with her corporate consulting and assisted living experience, she made it her determination to launch a business for the aging population to help them safely connect in a fun and interactive environment that keeps them stimulated and promotes in-person activity. Her goal is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle in this important stage of life. Marcie has an MBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management and bachelor's degrees in communications and economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

As the cofounder and tech guru helping to bring private sharing to the masses, Monica brings high standards and high-tech experience to ConnectAround. If you've used Macy's bridal registry, WeddingChannel.com or gotten an insurance quote from AAA, you've seen how good she is at what she does. She's been one of the forces behind these incredible online experiences, with over a decade of experience. She earned her BS in Computer Information Systems at Missouri State University.
