About me
Hello, my name is Joyce Wells. I am a University of Houston Lifetime Alumni and mother of a recent graduate. In 2017, my youngest son Grant started his freshman year at University of Houston as a business major. I was so excited to be back on the campus after so many years. So much had changed! That same year, I was approached by the founder of the Networking In Action franchise. He asked me if I would be interested in starting a UH alumni group. I said Yes, and Cougar Connection, LLC was established in June 2017!
After several impactful years operating as Cougar Connection, we're excited to announce our evolution into NETWORK UP—a fresh brand that reflects our expanded vision and purpose. What began as a community for University of Houston business alumni has grown into a dynamic, relationship-driven business network for growth-minded entrepreneurs and professionals. Under the NETWORK UP name, we remain committed to helping our members connect with purpose, grow their businesses through trusted relationships, and engage with high-level leaders across industries. This new chapter honors our roots while opening doors to broader collaboration, deeper impact, and national reach.
Over the past eight years I have been committed to help my members grow their businesses by connecting them with local business owners and through qualified referrals and leads. Our members are community involved business owners, entrepreneurs, professional, or senior-level executives. As an owner, I have a vested interest in the success of each member of our group to help them get known, get connected, build relationships, and increase revenue. We look forward to helping many more reach their networking goals! -
