Message From Our

Executive Director

Now that the summer season is over, we will be resuming our monthly Board Meetings, Network Gatherings, and other regular activities. I will also keep you informed of upcoming events.

I urge you consider joining us for our upcoming 29th Annual Meeting and 10th Expo. Our Annual Meeting will feature Election of Officers and Board of Directors. The "Business Person of the Year," the "President's Award," and the Humanitarian Award" will also be announced.

Every year, our Expo is a huge success and is an excellent opportunity to showcase your business.

I would like Woburn businesses to know that 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.

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.
