Why I did This
By Sara Fritz
Building on Dane’s reflections on how NextPhase Delco came to be, I feel it started when we
both saw a need to connect with like-minded individuals in an authentic way that we were not
currently finding in the community.
With my oldest heading off to college, I quickly saw how much school involvement was my
network and that it wouldn’t be long before I would lose that “built-in” ability to connect with
people, and the timing of the early discussions with Dane about building something for the
community seemed to align to continue to feel connected to someting outside of my
immediate family and work life.
We both attended multiple networking events (and still do), however, we saw a need to find
something that balanced a focus on a certain population in the community, went beyond meet
and greets/ your typical networking, and would provide an opportunity for business leaders in
the community to grow.
Similar to how I want to approach my life and my life’s work, I saw in Dane someone who is
uber-conscientious, results-driven, yet compassionate and kind.
As far as my goals personally for NextPhase Delco, I want to be considered a hub in the wheel
for our community- someone people think of first and with the highest confidence that I can
help them meet their real estate goals, and to be an authentic connector in the community.
If you are looking to connect with like-minded professionals and want to develop and be held
accountable, let’s connect!
