Great Start for the New Warren Business Association

WARREN, Mich. - Oct. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- On Tuesday, October 6, the Warren Business Association held its kick-off meeting at the Community Choice Credit Union at 7415 Chicago Rd. in Warren.  There were a variety of businesses represented for this event introducing the new organization.  Attendees had the opportunity to network with other business professionals, enjoy refreshments provided by the credit union, and to give an “elevator speech” to let everyone know about their business.

Glenn McIntosh, a human performance expert and Author of “It’s Time To Bring You’re a Game”, gave an inspirational presentation encouraging the attendees to utilize the new organization to surround themselves with people who will have a positive influence on their efforts to achieve their goals and dreams.  Glenn McIntosh holds a number of bodybuilding titles including Mr. Michigan and Mr. Ironman, and is also the Vice President for Student Affairs at Oakland University.

The Warren Business Association was started by Mark Tremper, a Warren resident and entrepreneur, along with the support of other businesses in the city.  Mark has been involved in many different types of business associations and chambers of commerce and saw the need for this type of organization in Warren.

“Warren (http://www.cityofwarren.org/) is the 3^rd largest city in the State of Michigan and is #9 on the Forbes  ‘Best Places for Business and Careers (http://www.forbes.com/best-places-for-business/list/#tab:...)’ for 2015,” says Mark, “and it is important to have a local city-based network dedicated to helping Warren businesses get connected with the people, tools, and resources they need to build their business.”

Plans were announced for the Warren Business Association to be an active group with three meetings per month at various times of the day so that all business owners, salespeople, and other business representatives will have the opportunity to get involved.  Meetings will be held at various member businesses so that members will gain first-hand knowledge of how these businesses operate and the products and services they provide.

Members will receive a weekly e-newsletter which will keep them up-to-date on upcoming activities and events, including those being held by other nearby Chambers and business associations.  Future plans will be to provide business workshops, mastermind groups, community expos, and other activities requested by its members.
