Bringing Businesses Together with the MBA!


March was an exciting and impactful month for the Montgomery Business Association, highlighted by two standout events that brought our business community together in meaningful ways.


MBA Annual General Membership Meeting

The MBA Annual General Membership Meeting on March 18 was a tremendous success, marking an important milestone as we officially welcomed the 2026 Board of Directors. We were honored to have Mayor Neena Singh join us to administer the oath of office and help usher in the new board.


The morning also provided valuable insights from the Montgomery Township team, who shared important updates and perspectives from township leadership—helping our members stay informed on key developments that impact the local business community.


We extend our sincere gratitude to the 2025 Board of Directors for their dedication, leadership, and commitment over the past year. Their efforts have played a critical role in growing membership engagement, strengthening partnerships, and advancing the MBA’s mission.


We are also pleased to officially welcome Carol Radziewicz as the MBA’s new Administrator. Carol will play an important role in supporting operations, communications, and member services as we continue to expand our programs and initiatives.


St. Patrick’s Day Networking Social at The Tiger’s Tale

Just two days prior, on March 16, we hosted our St. Patrick’s Day Networking Social at The Tiger's Tale Bar & Grill. Even high wind warnings couldn’t keep our members away! With dozens of attendees, the evening was filled with great food, drinks, and most importantly, valuable connections.


This event was a direct response to member feedback asking for more casual, informal networking opportunities, and it delivered exactly that. It was a fun, relaxed environment where members could connect, share ideas, and strengthen relationships within the community.


Due to the strong turnout and positive response, we’re excited to continue these gatherings. Be sure to mark your calendar for our next Happy Hour Social on April 20 from 5:30–7:00 PM at Alfonso’s Family Trattoria & Pizzeria.


We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to create opportunities for our members to connect, collaborate, and grow in 2026.



Don't Miss Out on These Exciting Spring Events!


Spring is shaping up to be an exciting season for the Montgomery Business Association, with a strong lineup of events that bring our community together to connect, celebrate, and engage.

We’re inviting MBA members to contribute door prizes for this and other upcoming events. Donating a door prize is an easy and effective way to showcase your business: attendees drop their business card into a drawing, and winners are selected at the end of the event. Your business will be recognized during the event, and your logo item, product, or gift certificate could end up in someone’s office or home, helping spread awareness long after the meeting ends. Plus, donating prizes shows your support for the local business community and increases traffic to your business or website.
