The Central Coast Small Business Networking Group (SBNG) celebrated its 20th anniversary at a special dinner at Erina Leagues Club on Tuesday, May 30.
With 28 members and guests in attendance, the event was filled with celebration and recognition of the association’s history.
Gathering founder members, visitors and sponsors together for this special occasion created a sense of unity and appreciation for the growth and achievements of SBNG over the past two decades.
Incumbent President Greg Elsey gave a presentation summarising the history of the association and highlighting the efforts of Christine Drakeford and other key founding members.
Karlene Glanville, one of SBNG’s current sponsors, spoke with passion about the relationships she has developed with various members since joining SBNG because business is always about people.
Some early marketing videos were included as part of the evening’s program and many took great delight in seeing a younger version of themselves on the screen.
Some archival footage of a Christmas party in 2012 drew much laughter.
“Looking ahead to the next 20 years, it’s exciting to imagine the continued growth and impact of the Central Coast Small Business Networking Group,” a spokesperson said.
“The milestone of reaching 20 years is a testament to the strength of the association and its ability to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing business landscape.
“With a strong foundation and a network of dedicated members, SBNG is well-positioned to continue supporting and empowering small businesses in the Central Coast area for many more years to come.”
