South Metropolitan Business Association: SMBA June 2015 Annual Meeting

It’s that time of year again! Each June we hold our annual member meeting as we vote in Board members, review financials, and get updates from our various committees.

We also held a discussion period during lunch where our Board received feedback from you, our members, on what you like about SMBA, what you would like to improve, what you would like to get out of the group, and any other feedback you would like to share. Results will be reviewed by the Board and goals, programming, and committee work will be determined based on your input!

We were also happy to have Kaleem Caire of One City talk with us briefly about funding for his initiative in South Madison. Kaleem is heading the start-up of a South Madison learning center with goals set to increase reading levels in under-privileged children, as well as educate parents on effective and healthy parenting in order to, among many other things, support the education children are receiving. One City is currently in the fundraising stage and hope they are able to open doors this fall for children.

SMBA will match all member contributions up to $1,000, so be sure to donate to this very worthy cause!
