✦ Happy 20th Anniversary to the friendliest business network in town!
Today we look back at MBF's amazing history and how it has grown over the years, faced difficult challenges and are still going strong today as our community's friendliest business network!
It has always been friendly from the beginning!
Since 2003, this friendliest business network supports Home Based Businesses and now micro business owners with 5 employees or less. Over the last 20 years, their name evolved from Home Based Business Club to Home Business Forum.
On February 22, 2013, it was officially changed to the name we know now, Micro Business Forum (MBF).
Through the years, regardless of what the name was, the objectives remained the same. It was to provide a platform for members to connect, learn from each other, and be inspired by guest speakers.
Veronica Lind was nominated as President in 2020, a watershed moment as it was the first time a President was appointed online for MBF. It took place during an online AGM due to COVID-19, and this was also the time which triggered the steep adoption of technology and members were challenged to really innovate and find new ways to grow their business through those difficult times.
