One of Commerce Lexington’s most effective business assistance efforts is the Business Owners Advisory Board (BOAB). These groups allow member business owners to share similar challenges, strategies, and best practices in a confidential, non-competitive environment. 

Each group is made up of around eight members with similar interests and concerns, but who are NOT in direct competition with each other. There is NO CHARGE to participate in this program, which is open only to Commerce Lexington members. Groups meet on a monthly basis for 2-3 hours per meeting, and each group sets its own meeting dates, times, and location. 

Groups are formed on the basis of a variety of criteria, such as market or industry segment, number of employees, geographic focus, etc. Each group has its own facilitator, who helps the group remain focused on its objectives, and who acts as a liaison to the Business Owners Advisory Board Steering Committee. 

For more information about the Business Owners Advisory Board, or to join the growing list of members participating in one of the groups, contact Liz Bennett at (859) 226-1615.
