PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Manufacturing professional Mike Templeton visited our club last week and it was interesting to hear his take on the manufacturing industry in northeast Florida. On a national level, the predictions are that the U.S. will surpass China in manufacturing ten years from now. As this sector grows, employers will be seeking a workforce with both hard skills (logistics, certifications, technical training) and soft skills (creative thinking, ethics, teamwork).
We had a blast at Thursday's Member Hangout at Aroma's on Southside Blvd. These get-togethers are a great opportunity to network with your fellow SBMC members. Our club organizes a business social each month, so stay tuned for April's event!
See you Wednesday!
Steve DeSorbo
2018 President

MEMBERSHIP DUES INCREASE
The SBMC Board of Governors approved a membership dues increase. Effective April 1, 2018, individual memberships will increase to $225 and corporate memberships will increase to $325. The one-time initiation fee of $50 will remain the same.
We haven't changed our dues structure in 8 years and this small increase will yield significant positive changes in our budget. With this increase, SBMC will be able to focus more on our charity and civic work.
