 Message From Our
 Executive Director
  
At the last City Council meeting, I spoke in favor of Olsen Cadillac and Lawless Chrysler to have satelite parking for their businesses. Both requests passed.
 

I am pleased to report that the past 15 months has seen an increase of 58 new 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.
