If you attended the Mad Vegas expo last year, you know it wasn't a "business as usual" business expo.  Many attendees came in character and ready to have fun.  This year, we're back with our Roaring 20's Biz Bash!  It will be hosted at Straight to Ale.  The Twickenham Jazz & Swing band will be performing, helping us create that 20s atmosphere.  

Both the Huntsville and Madison Chambers will be joining us this year to conduct ribbon cuttings for any Network members who are also a member of one chamber or both.  If you've been thinking about holding your chamber ribbon cutting at the chamber, why not do it at an event that promises to have a lot of attendees instead.  Contact us for ribbon cutting details (must be a member of one of the chambers or planning on joining one).  Booth Vendors do not need to be chamber members since it is a Network event.

Our next Bridal Expo will be held on Jan 29th at the Swan House.  If you are in the wedding industry and want to participate, please get your application in asap.  There is limited space and we will only allow a set number of vendors per category.  

You can download the vendor packet or apply directly on the event calendar. 

Finally, we have been able to set our Alternative Income Expo.  The expo will focus on work from home, jobs with flexible schedules, job sharing, etc.  This is more of a targeted recruiting event. 

If you represent a direct sales company and want to participate, please get your application in as quickly as possible.  We will only allow one table per company or brand.   Contact us to see if your spot is open.

Our mission with the Valley Health Alliance is to educate the community on options for their health.  The Alliance has it's own website, valleyhealthalliance.com which is promoted to the community as a resource.  Although health professionals in all areas are welcome to join us, the focus of this Alliance and the website will be more about holistic, integrated and complimentary options.  Look for changes on the website, coming soon. 

The TN River Business Alliance, which brings together professionals from Morgan, Madison and Limestone Counties, will be moving to a morning meeting.  Starting in Jan, the meeting will move to 8:30am-10:00am, still on the 3rd Thursday of the month and at the Doubletree in Decatur.  They have a wonderful breakfast buffet for our members to enjoy. 

We will also be hosting a visitors day in Jan.  

Two of our Alliances will hold a Visitors Day in Jan.  If you've ever wanted to check out one of our meetings, now is the time.  

Vital Living/Health Alliance will be holding their Visitors Day on Jan 17th at Bravo.  

The TN River Business Alliance which meets in Decatur will be hosting theirs on Jan 19th at the Doubletree, just over the river bridge.  

Both meetings are free, just purchase your own meal if you choose to eat.  

Members of each Alliance may display products and materials for visitors to get to know them better.  Please contact us if you plan to display.  

Several of our Alliances will be moving in Jan!  We're excited to announce that the Women in Business, Vital Living/Health and the Business Accelerator Alliances will all be moving to Bravo at Bridge Street, starting with our Jan meetings.  They have graciously created a special menu with several selections, including salads and still keep it within the same price point ($12.50 or under).  

Join us for one of these great networking/business education/business relationship/branding events.  Find them all on the Calendar. 

MOB members and guests welcomed Mayor Battle to their May luncheon. Mayor Battle discussed the environment for small to medium businesses in Huntsville. Attendees were able to have their questions answered afterwards. Some of the questions Mayor Battle addressed were:

How can the city work harder to help small businesses, especially in the service industry, the plans for Madison Square Mall and Joe Davis Stadium and the advanced fiber network infrastructure, keeping education focused on history, geography and the arts as well as technology, the City of Huntsville's interest in promoting events and projects like the "Inside Out" art project and how to keep the city growing without increased sales and property taxation that has happened in other areas.

Our Bridal Expo in Feb was such a success, we're doing it again!

May 17th from 1-5pm at the Swan House the WE Alliance (wedding & event professionals) will host a bridal expo and event resale event.

Great event today.  We had around 100 professionals attend and make new business connections.  A big thanks to the Best Western Plus for hosting us.
