Schedule of Events, Commercials and Craft Talks, and OCBA Greeters
OCBA member commercials and craft talks are interesting, informative, even entertaining! A few members are selected and scheduled to deliver a promotional “commercial” for their business at the first lunch meeting of every month.
Either the main member or the associate member of a business can speak, but if you are unable to make your commercial or be a greeter on your assigned day, please contact us and let us know prior to the meeting.
Be sure to include the following:
- What’s new in your business?
- What problems can you solve for us?
- What kind of referrals are most helpful?
We’re all here to network and grow our businesses. Use your allotted commercial time, of 10 minutes or less, to help us help you. We look forward to all the valuable information provided during these commercials throughout the year! Thank you!
