Planning for the 2019 Business Breakfast has begun. Check back later for information.
Businesses are Invited to Attend Breakfast at the Township
The Business Breakfast offers business owners and managers the chance to network, present corporate displays, and receive information about the township. Nearly 80 business leaders and township representatives attended last year.
"Businesses are an important part of our community. We invite them to breakfast as a way to express our appreciation, share information, and learn more about how we can support their success," said Trustee President Dale Berry.
Where & When
The Business Breakfast takes place at Rec West, 965 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd., on the township's recreation campus. Doors open at 7:30 am for networking and displays in the Rec West Enrichment Center, followed by a complimentary catered breakfast and a brief program from 8 to 9 am. The Enrichment Center entrance is on the building's west side, facing McEwen Road.
Who Attends
Invitations will be sent in September to businesses located in unincorporated Washington Township. "Our focus is on the unincorporated portion of the township where we provide all local services, not just fire and recreation as we do in the incorporated area," Paulson said. The City of Centerville also hosts its own business breakfast.
Business that do not receive an invitation are still invited to attend if they are located in unincorporated Washington Township.
Reservations, Business Displays & Raffle Prizes
Reservations start in July and are accepted through a date in October that is yet to be set for 2019. Up to three representatives from each business may attend. Stop back later to register online.
To arrange to set up a tabletop display or provide raffle items, send an email to raffledisplay@washingtontwp.org.
