Tonight, the BAM Board got to work!

We gathered at the Pearl River Glass Conservatory to dig into our draft strategic plan and have an honest conversation about where the Business Association of Midtown goes from here. What’s our primary role? How do we use our capacity wisely? What does real value look like for Midtown businesses?

More to come as we move from planning into action. Stay tuned.
