Greetings! e Bella Vista Business Association is looking forward to continuing to carry out its mission in 2020 to Promote, Support and Network its membership. We introduced a number of new events last year and continue to fine tune them in the upcoming months in an effort to help all our members maximize their membership. Our BVBA Business Fair has been a staple in the community for many years. e upcoming Fair will take place ursday, March 19 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at Riordan Hall. is event gives members a great opportunity to get the word out, network and connect with the community. Because of the popularity of this event and our changing demographics, we'll be looking to add another event for our members to sell their products later on in the year, to maximize exposure to a wider audience for all of our businesses. Morning meetings have been a staple to our members, along with the opportunity to showcase their business by hosting an evening social, giving the members a chance to promote their products and services to all attendees. We'll also be adding some lunchtime events in order to try to reach all the membership. Having a presence at the Farmer Markets was a great addition to last year and we will continue to offer that to our members this season. Also, since we live in an age of technology we have been focusing on social media as well as electronic billboard advertising with great results. We are lucky to have some amazing board members who work tirelessly in a volunteer positon for all the membership. We feel that we have a great representation of area businesses, from home-based to brick and mortar, but there is always room for new members!
