The Somerville Business & Professional Association will host its first Business 2 Business Networking event of the year Jan. 31 at Alfonso?s Family Trattoria, 99 W. Main St. beginning at 5:30 p.m.
SBPA Executive Director April Sette will introduce Anthony Loftus of Somerville Lumber, the newly-elected president and other officers: Paul Sanford, Sanford Jewelers, vice president; John Harrity, Somerville School of Music, secretary and Lorraine Sarra, WWA, treasurer.
The 2013 SBPA Board of Directors includes: Val Gibson, Senior Arts & Crafts; Jan Lush, Big/Little Railroad; James O?Gorman, Financial Resources; Ann Marie Woodward, Fulton Bank; Lee Schapiro, Yogurt Oasis; Marie Danielle Vil-Young, A Votre Service Events; Kristen Reed, Saffire Salon; Nicole Wisnewski, Team Capital Bank and Guy Hoyt, Crem Builders.
Cost is $10 for SBPA members and $15 for non-members. There will be a cash bar and appetizers will be served.
Plans and priorities for the coming year will be highlighted, including more frequent Business 2 Business networking events.
?What we?re trying to encourage is more direct business to business contact, which will usually lead to another way of generating revenue,? Sette explained. ?One of our goals in 2013 is to build business-to-business relationships within the Somerville community,? she added. ?We want to promote all of the businesses and services to one another; how can you support one another if you don?t know they exist?
?These networking events are the perfect vehicle for promoting your business,? she said.
Future networking events are scheduled on March 21 and May 30 at a time and place to be announced.
The SBPA has several other promotions scheduled in the coming months including the Feb. 9 ?Chocolate Walk.?
Download your ?passport? from the SBPA website or Facebook page and head out to explore all that Somerville has to offer. Participating businesses and restaurants will all offer chocolate treats or beverages; when you stop in, have your passport initialed, and when you finish your tour, drop off your completed passport at Sanford Jewelers, 90 West Main Street.? A drawing will be held the following week to award prizes from participating merchants to those who submitted their passports.
