Final Message From Our
 Executive Director

I would like to take this opportunity to inform our members that after 19 years of dedicated service to the Woburn Business Association, I have submitted my resignation to the Board of Directors effective January 1st. It has been determined by the board that it would be advantageous to our organization for me to stay on the board as a liasion between the City of Woburn and members of the WBA.

 

It has been my pleasure to have had the opportunity to serve as your Executive Director for almost two decades.

 

I have been elected to be a member of the Board of Directors to be a member of the board. I will be active in and around government dealing with WBA issues. My new title is "Community Liaison."

 

Whether you are a WBA member or not, our organization is here to ensure that, as a business owner, you are treated fairly by our city government agencies.
  

I believe there is no other organization in Woburn or the surrounding area that dedicates the time and interest in our business community than the Woburn Business Association.

 

In closing, I wish all members and their families a healthy and prosperous New Year.

 

. 

Paul Meaney
