Networking and Community Done Right

 

“GBN was my first networking group.

‘Terrified’ would be a good description of how I feltPhoto of Andrew Echemann when I attended my first meeting. Since then, I’ve met so many wonderful people. Everyone has been so gracious and welcoming, and I’ve grown so much through being a member. The leadership sat down with me one on one and asked how they could help – that really impressed me. Even better, they were filled with wonderful suggestions.”

What is Great Business Networking?

Our mission is simple: to attract like-minded professionals in the community to grow their business and network together.

Founded in 2011 by Alan Thompson, a local business owner in Charleston, South Carolina, GBN has always been a group of professionals who have an interest in growing their business.
