WHAT DOES THE FRYEBURG BUSINESS ASSOCIATION DO?

There is strength in numbers - no question, and joining a business association is a great way to tap into skills, knowledge and economic advantages.

Some of the goals of a business association is to provide opportunities for business education and for building awareness of key issues that affect business and community. A key benefit to being a member is the networking opportunities, as well as advertising, promoting and the visibility it brings to your business. Being a member is not just about what the association can do for you and your business, however, but what it can also do for the community. Also remember, the association is only as good as the use you make of it as a member. The more you use the tools offered you the more you get out it. A business association is a great source of information for the aspiring entrepreneurs or current high school and college students. The association shows the community the dedication and appreciation of businesses by giving back to the community in such ways as community events, community services, and community support.

Fryeburg Business Association is run 100% on volunteerism from its members which allows them to put the very low annual membership dues to good use by supporting many of the community needs. Some of the efforts so far have been  the purchase of new flags for Main Street, support of a regional wide litter clean up program, production of community summer concerts in the park, promoting student to business mentoring programs, spearheading economic development and awareness assistance, sponsoring educational and business seminar programs, assisting with community parades, entertainment, public safety, historical celebrations, supporting and assisting several other non-profit efforts, and developing community service programs. The business association also works very closely with the municipality to assure that the business climate and the community are working toward the best interest of the whole in such areas as community safety and services, costs, and tax dollar burdens.

Fryeburg Business Association is very proud of their accomplishments and vitality within the community and they are especially grateful and thankful to the many volunteers within the business community that give abundant hours of their time for the good of all in their community.
