 Message From Our
 Executive Director

  

I am pleased to report that this past year has seen an increase of 52 members who have joined our association.

 

As I have mentioned previously, 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.

  

Invoices have been mailed for 2013 dues, and we appreciate your payment in a timely manner. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at the office.

  

In closing, I would like to remind members that I am always available to listen to your concerns. If you have any questions regarding your business, please do not hesitate to call me. We appreciate your membership and value any input you may have.

 

Happy New Year to all our members and their families.

 

 

Michael Meaney
Executive Director 
  
  
  
Our Annual Holiday Party

   

    

Our Annual Holiday Party took place this month at the Crowne Plaza in Woburn.

 

Many WBA members were on hand to wish each other a happy holiday season.

 

As in previous years, we collected food items and grocery gift certificates items which were given to the Council of Social Concern's Food Pantry for distribution to those in need.
