The Williamsport Business Association (WBA) is excited to announce the launch of their new member driven website at www.williamsportpa.org. As a way to celebrate the new site, the newly elected WBA board would like to invite business owners, community leaders, and the general public to an official launch party/meet and greet event being held at Converge Gallery (140 West Fourth St., Williamsport, PA 17701) on Monday, May 22 from 5:30 – 7:30PM.
The launch party will highlight many of the interactive features the new site offers including expansive member profile pages, and a dynamic events calendar that aggregates member events directly from Facebook.
“We are looking to make www.williamsportpa.org the new place to find everything related to our great city,” said Charles Imbro, President of the WBA. “We made the new site interactive and photo driven to show off all the gems that our great city has to offer.”
“We wanted to feature every business, gallery, restaurant or shop that our city has to offer on the new site. The real gems of the site are for our members as they feature full profiles w/ hours of operation, beautiful photos of the business, and links to social media,” said John Yogodzinski, owner of The Graphic Hive who helped build this site. “I’ve always wanted to build a site to help make our city shine, and thank the WBA for giving me this opportunity.”
In addition to a website review, members from the WBA board will offer a short presentation on their plans for the city, and outline the numerous benefits exclusive for members that join the WBA.
The mission of the Williamsport Business Association, a 501(c)(6) Non-Profit incorporated organization, is to recruit, retain and expand quality businesses while promoting the enhancement and growth of Williamsport businesses and to serve as a liaison between city businesses & city administration.
The Williamsport Business Association proudly serves both its members and the community. We are businesses working together toward a common goal of shared prosperity, committed to playing a lead role in the ongoing renaissance of downtown Williamsport, and dedicated to supporting the success of our local businesses.
In addition to serving its membership with helpful services, programs, and networking opportunities, the Williamsport Business Association is deeply committed to the community, and is the co-host of our city’s monthly First Friday Arts Celebration, when the streets of downtown Williamsport are filled with art, music, artisan crafts, live entertainment, family fun, and more.
The Williamsport Business Association also plays an active role in helping to coordinate many downtown Williamsport events such as the ‘Williamsport Welcomes The World’ parade (and other events during the annual Little League World Series), as well our annual Mardi Gras celebration, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Oktoberfest festivities, and more.
Please come meet your new board members, check out the new website, mingle with local business owners and become a member of the group.
