About Heather Blasnek
Heather Blasnek is the owner of Network In Action Colorado Springs and has spent more than 15 years helping professionals build meaningful, mutually beneficial relationships. She believes networking should feel natural, valuable, and supportive and not like another obligation on an already full calendar.
With a background in recruitment, Heather is intentional about who joins each Network In Action group. Members are carefully selected, established professionals who value collaboration, credibility, and long-term relationships. This thoughtful approach creates a trusted environment where referrals happen organically and connections run deeper than a quick introduction.
Network In Action Colorado Springs is designed for business owners who want high-quality relationships without weekly meetings, homework, or pressure. Heather is proud to bring this refreshing approach to the Colorado Springs business community and to create a space where professionals can grow together.
I like to focus on fostering a collaborative environment for local business professionals to grow their ventures and strengthen connections. With expertise in networking and community building, I create opportunities for meaningful interactions that support business development beyond traditional networking.
Drawing on a background in leadership and hospitality, including executive roles at Homa and Pizzeria Rustica, I bring a deep understanding of fostering local connections and teamwork. My mission is to empower professionals to achieve sustainable growth by cultivating trust and engagement within our community.
NIAX Colorado Springs is all about community. We help local business owners connect and share referrals through our app, but it’s about more than just business growth. We’re passionate about giving back to the place we call home. By partnering with local 501c3’s, we turn professional networking into a year-round fundraising opportunity for the Springs.
