📣 ABA Member Listening Session — Thursday, Aug 27 | 8:00–9:00 AM | Virtual (Google Meet)
We're building the next chapter of the Austell Business Association, and we want it built around what you actually need.
This is a one-hour, open-mic conversation with our members. No presentation, no pitch — just your input on where we go next.
What we'll cover:
Your biggest operational hurdle right now — hiring, costs, customer acquisition, capital, permitting, or tech
The trainings and workshops you'd actually show up for (AI tools, digital marketing, financial planning, and more)
How we connect members to each other — local vendors, referrals, cross-promotion, and B2B opportunities
Where the ABA is falling short, and what would make membership genuinely worth it
The local policy and permitting friction that slows your business down
We'll open with a quick live poll so you can see how your priorities stack up against your peers, then spend the bulk of the hour listening. Everything we hear shapes our programming calendar for the coming year.
Bring a coffee and an honest opinion. Both count.
