About Shoreline Business Network
Mission
Shoreline Business Network is a local business leaders’ forum which provides professional development and networking opportunities.
Purpose
To advance and improve the business of each member of the group via business referrals, and to provide a forum for the sharing of information and ideas.
History
Shoreline Business Network was formed in 1999. The early group meetings consisted of a few local business leaders coming together on a weekly basis to network and exchange marketing and planning ideas.
The group has grown steadily as local business people have become aware of the group and its expanding mission.
Shoreline is now one of the elite networking groups in the Detroit Metropolitan area. The meetings are structured around the exchange of business referrals and presentations by group members.
Meetings
Meetings consist of general introductions by each member, referrals and testimonials, and a twenty minute in-depth presentation by a group member or special guest with a question and answer period.
A general business meeting is held on the first Thursday of each month or on an as needed basis. These meetings are also used to track and review the group’s progress in meeting referral goals.
Our weekly meetings are held every Thursday morning from 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. at Steve's Back Room located at 24317 Jefferson Avenue, St. Clair Shores, Michigan between 9 and 10 Mile roads.
Exclusivity
Members of the group will enjoy complete exclusivity in regard to their occupation, as long as they are paying dues and they are members in good standing.
Dues & Obligations
Dues are $10 per month paid semi-annually in January and July ($120/year). Dues are used for member materials, meeting fees, marketing and special events.
New members receive the first month free. First payment is due in the second month of membership.
Since SBN is a professional organization, we are governed by a board of directors and all members are respectfully asked to follow our membership policies and procedures.
