MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

In all businesses, it is important to take a step back and review accomplishments, analyze what is working and what is not, set priorities, and determine the best direction to ensure success. Over the past seventeen months, the Tucker Business Association’s Board has been involved in this process. We believe we are on the correct path for the future and have placed our priority on providing our membership with educational and networking opportunities to enhance their businesses.

Having established the priorities, we plan to offer a series of workshops this fall, at a minimum cost to member participants. We have received a number of course suggestions, some of which are: basic financial management (accounting structure, banking, budgeting, etc); payroll processing and reporting; marketing; business planning (how to analyze where your company is, where you want to go and a plan to reach your goal); improving customer service; and credit worthiness/understanding credit. If you have a specific topic which you feel would be of benefit to our members, please send your ideas to lofty2@bellsouth.net.

Our Membership Drive runs through June 30. The individual bringing in the most new members will be awarded a $100 gift card. Membership forms, along with an information sheet about TBA, can be obtained at any meeting or by contacting me at lofty2@bellsouth.net.

Our speaker for May will be State Representative Kevin Levitas. He will share with us the results from this year’s Legislative Session and its impact on the business community, so you will want to be there.

I’ll see you on the 15th!
