As 2012 comes to a close…

As we bring this year 2012 to an end, I would like to thank all of our members for a very prosperous year.

This year we have seen our economy starting to turn around; however there are many industries still struggling to get back on their feet. That is why it is so important to network with fellow business owners.

Ottawa Business Builders Too membership grew this year by adding four new members:

WCMY represented by Christine Hite, Account Executive
Farrell Chiropractic represented by Crystal Lomeli, Marketing Manager
Mike’s Outdoor Power Equipment Repair represented by Ivy Cuchiara, owner
Robert Kuhn Photography Studio represented by Robert Kuhn, owner.

I look forward to a new year full of business growth for not only our members but for all of our local businesses.
Sincerely,
Katherine Corcoran, President
Ottawa Business Builders Too
