About MBC

The Metropolitan Breakfast Club has been Austin's premier networking club since 1984.

The Metropolitan Breakfast Club, currently hosted at Chez Zee, is unique among membership groups in Austin. Here we not only learn and grow, professionally and personally, but we also give ourselves opportunities to create and sustain deeper, long-term friendships and alliances. Many members take these friendships out the door and into their daily lives. We are a relaxed, diverse group and our makeup changes weekly. And that's a part of the magic. The environment is organic and stimulating without the press and pressure of business networking and selling on the spot.

Whether you're new to Austin or a native Austinite, you'll enjoy a great breakfast with energetic, talented and fun people... no small feat for an early morning breakfast club! Come build relationships, expand your knowledge, and start your day with a smile.

Member Spotlight: Jill Jacobs

Jill Jacobs PhotoThere are many reasons why people join MBC. What are yours?

Initially, I had professional colleagues who were members and attended regularly; MBC provided an opportunity to connect with them.

Additionally, I’m drawn to networking-type groups that have more to offer than simply exchanging business cards. MBC is about learning and growing. I’ve loved hearing about the fantastic organizations, museums, businesses, nonprofits and municipal initiatives in and around Austin.

I like standing up each week and introducing ourselves and our work. This keeps my Better Balance and Flex Employee Integration Services business front of mind for those in the room, which has led to business referrals.

What are your favorite local charities?

It’s hard to choose; I love Book Drive for Kids, Caritas and Foundation Communities. Another favorite is the Jeremiah Program which helps single moms get their degrees by providing housing and childcare assistance.

What is one thing people admire about you?

I always want to help people with whatever challenge they are facing, whether it’s looking for a job or being a voice for them.
