Traditional Networking Group Sees Growth through Online technology

MAPLE VALLEY, Wash. - June 12, 2013 - PRLog -- The Great  Maple Valley Network Association (GMVNA), a group of small business owners and professionals that has been going steady since 1991, has recently reported that the association continues to receive new memberships from all over their region as of first quarter this year.

“This is a very motivating start for us, and it says a lot about how our business professionals value networks,” said Traci Sciuchetti of GMVNA.

She added that since the association’s inception, members have never traded the networks they built through the association for other technologies. Sciuchetti likewise added that their new website greatly assisted them in reaching out to more members.

New media tools have greatly changed the landscape of business marketing in the recent years, with the global market within reach with just few clicks.

Networking associations like GMVNA capitalizes on these developments, as well, specifically on building its own online presence through a website.

However, more than the online accessibility, GMVNA’s main strength are the actual gatherings of businessmen and professionals that aim to increase business and career referrals of its members.

“The technologies we have now are a huge part of the business growth and operation, but the networks we’ve built are equally important because there lessons and referrals that we can only get from our networks here,” shared on member of GMVNA.

The association members are mainly comprised of small-medium business owners, medical professionals, lawyers, and sales associates. Through their weekly meetings, members are able to meet relevant professional connections that can either help expand their sales contacts, or simply help them advance their career growth.

“It’s the shared experience that people get here each week that has retained our membership base, and even expand it even up to this year,” said Sciuchetti.

GMVNA is expecting influx of more members in the coming months, especially as summer season starts. Interested members can now easily find necessary information about the association and its members through their website, which is accessible athttp://www.maplevalley.net.
