              EXCITE Watertown - A networking and development group for Watertown’s professionals
              Our Mission Engage and retain Watertown’s leaders through personal & professional development opportunities
              Our Purpose
              Through Networking, Outreach, and Personal & Professional Development activities we will connect professionals to civic and business leaders, and to the community of Watertown and the unique opportunities it offers. We will support the leadership pipeline of our local businesses and industry by facilitating the growth, development, and retention of our local professional workforce.
              We want to offer Watertown’s emerging leaders a way to thrive in our community by providing an inclusive culture where they can advance their own professional and personal development while making Watertown a better, stronger community. We will provide emerging professionals a collective voice and offer our community a captive audience of professionals willing to engage in a variety of opportunities and information.
