A Letter From The President
Welcome to the Warren Business and Professional Association's
(WBPA) website. As we begin the WBPA's 8th year of service, it is clear
that our dedication to the Warren Community has never been greater. Our
more than 170 members have committed to the positive growth and improvement
of Warren, and in giving back to the community and those less fortunate.
Since our inception in 1995, our membership has more than doubled, while
our donations have soared to over $60,000, which has gone right back to
the community to support our area schools, sports programs, civic groups,
fire and rescue squads, and numerous charitable associations. In fact,
all of our profits, year in and year out, go right back into the community.
Today, our Warren Showcase is better
than ever, while attendance at our networking meetings is very strong
and the diversity of our membership base grows by the day. I am proud
to say that the WBPA has exceeded most of the goals laid out by our founders
in 1995. Our mission statement is to Promote and Enhance Warren as a Place
to Live, a Place to Work, a Place to Shop and a Place to Conduct Business.
Each and every day, our members strive to bring our Association
closer and to instill greater pride in our professional and retail business
community. Our collective efforts center solely on promoting that pride
and keeping our community prospering. As we head into 2003, we are more
committed than ever to providing the 15,000 residents of Warren, as well
as residents of other communities, with a breadth of professional and
retail, products and services, that are based conveniently in Warren.
Thus, we encourage all Warren-based businesses to join the WBPA and support
our cause, and we ask our residents to support the local businessman,
who gives so much back to the community. Welcome to the WBPA.
Sincerely,
Mike Schmidt
President, Warren Business & Professional Association
Vice President, Braunschweiger Jewelers
