It emphasizes the value of networking and encourages participation in local chambers and associations to strengthen the entire 400 corridor business community.

1. BUSINESS 400
• NETWORKING THE 400 CORRIDOR

2. OUR VISION
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS IN THE 400 CORRIDOR
The goal of BUSINESS 400 is to provide the Highway 400
community with opportunity. The opportunity to
effectively network. The opportunity to view the 400
corridor as a single economic engine that we share in
common.
A common association offers the opportunity to unify
our businesses, our city and county governments, our
business associations, and our charities and non-profits. Our
goal is to positively impact the 400 community and the way
these various entities interact. A true network highway.

3. SHORT TERM POSSIBILITIES
The short term goal of BUSINESS 400, simply put, is to do more
business. Our monthly networking events are to be held at The
Metropolitan Club, the first Tuesday of each month, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
These events are designed to expand our sphere of influence throughout
the 400 corridor.
We will function as a business to business and a business to consumer
network. We will encourage participants to function as a business to
community network.
The future of the Highway 400 business corridor is bright. BUSINESS 400
wants to cast more light on the companies and individuals that make the
400 corridor business community a shining light in a dark economy!

4. LONG TERM POSSIBILITIES
The long term goal of BUSINESS 400 is to evolve into a
multifaceted association that has a voice in the many issues
that influence the progress of the 400 corridor business
community.
We intend to survey the BUSINESS 400 participants as to
their views on a variety of issues. This is not a political effort,
but a practical effort. It is intended to help guide the various
entities that make decisions regarding the issues affecting the
400 business community. The knowledge and experience of
the business community can provide input to develop more
effective policy regarding the 400 corridor.

5. A SPIRIT OF COOPERATION
The Chambers of Commerce and other business
associations can embrace this spirit of cooperation to
move their local organizations forward as they move
the 400 corridor forward as a whole. There will be a
concerted effort encouraging more businesses to join
local chambers and associations, and increase their
level of participation in those groups, individually, and
the 400 corridor as a whole. There is a strength in
numbers, a rising tide lifts all boats opportunity, at the
core of BUSINESS 400.

6. PEOPLE DON’T CARE HOW MUCH YOU KNOW
UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE.
The soul of BUSINESS 400 will be the involvement of
charities and nonprofits. We will encourage the Business
400 membership to create programs that not only
benefits the charities, but also involves them in events
designed to increase the profile of the charities and their
business partners in the greater community. The skills
developed in the process of moving businesses forward
can aid charities and nonprofits, as well. The sharing of
those skills can be mutually beneficial. Business can do
well by doing good.

7. NETWORKING
WE CAN’T BAIL YOU OUT, BUT WE CAN LIFT YOU UP!
How? Networking. Our Network For Success family
held an incredible network event at the beautiful
METROPOLITAN CLUB. Networking ran rampant!
Weeks later, we are still hearing from business
people, amazed at the record turnout, as well as the
energy and opportunity at the event. People are
working overtime, expanding relationships begun
that night. Network For Success has many new
members, and a waiting list, as a result!

management of Mark Simpson, hosted a truly
impressive event. Seasoned networkers and
business professionals agreed it was the best
network event they had ever attended.
