SBG 2016 Annual Meeting
at the Corner House Inn
|
We invite and welcome your membership in the Sandwich Business Group!
To: Current and Potential Members,
If you did not attend the SBG annual meeting in February, you may not realize that SBG is at a crossroads. One way leads to a new, revitalized SBG under new leadership, and the other way leads to dissolution of the organization.
SBG needs new leadership to continue. Which means, SBG need YOU… at least some of you… with a fresh vision and belief that a Sandwich business organization can be of great value to its members and to the community as a whole.
SBG has had a good run since 2005. That is almost 20 years! It began with a mission to help promote Sandwich businesses through joint marketing and mutual support. This was accomplished in various ways. The brochure mailer program lasted for many years. SBG facilitated other joint advertising and promotion, workshops, and events. Beginning in 2013 the website became a centerpiece of the organization.
So much has changed! Digital media has pushed print media to the sidelines. Platforms for marketing have changed. The ways that a business community within a geographic community can work together for the benefit of all has changed.
SBG has a certain structure in place as an organization… it is a 501 (C) (6), a business membership nonprofit, and a set of by-laws, so if a group wants to reinvent the organization they will have a solid base from which to build something new.
What SBG needs now are business people in Sandwich who will actually step up and take the reins. But the reins don’t have to be connected to the same old horse. They can be connected to a whole new horse.
There is time for people to ponder this deeply and come together. Nothing drastic will happen until the end of the year. But it is high time for you, the business people in this community, to really think about what you want, and whether or not a community business organization in Sandwich is valuable and meaningful. This is a genuine opportunity for a group of people in Sandwich to implement a new vision of what SBG could be.
The deadline for 2022 membership is March 1st. Your membership provides the following general opportunities:
Regards, Vicky Galkina, Secretary
