Nazareth Business Council- January 2020 Connections Article

​Nazareth Business Council Chair

Members of the Nazareth Business Council we are looking for your input as we close out 2019 and enter 2020. NBC had many firsts and great successes in 2019. Our end of year events continue to support businesses and the community. We held our first Small Business and Community Roundtable at the Nazareth Library with the four local Police Chiefs, our first Restaurant Week, and our first Nazareth Fall Festival – all of which were very successful. Finishing out the year we have our Coat Drive in partnership with Audiology Services, taking place Thursday 12/12 at Martin Guitar. A wonderful venue to bring a donation and support a worthy cause. Our signature holiday event is Saturday 12/14 – Christmas in Nazareth, from 12-4. This event is also growing in scope as we’re adding more to an already at- tractive schedule of free events for the entire family. 


In 2020 we will build on these great programs, including two more Small Business and Community Roundtables. One featuring the Fire Chiefs and a second with Borough Managers. Thanks to our partnership with the Nazareth Area School District we will soon have the opportunity for you to engage with parents who are enrolling their child in the district. Yet another great benefit NBC will be providing. Our program- ming will continue to expand, providing more resources to our members and the community. 


This is where we need your help and participation. NBC members are encouraged to attend a board meeting to hear more about the items we’re considering and provide input on how we can best serve you. If your business is located in Nazareth Borough, Upper Nazareth, Lower Nazareth or Bushkill Township we want to hear from you. Whatever your business type – professional services, retail, manufacturing, personal services, warehousing, etc – I hope you’ll engage the Board so we can benefit from your input. Please send me an email for information on attending one of our meetings – michael.wood- [email protected] 


Again, thank you to everyone for supporting NBC, and know that 2020 will be another record setter!
