First Friday Business Network

The Hampton University Business Assistance Center has developed two major goals for its continuous outreach program:

•  To increase the visibility of the Hampton University Business Assistance Centers’ (HUBAC) services in the community, through business/social interaction and participation in community events.
  
  

•  To foster and develop economic networking within the business community through the stewardship of the Hampton University Business Assistance Center.

To meet these goals, we have organized a series of meetings with the Peninsula Area Business community entitled “FIRST FRIDAY BUSINESS NETWORK”.   These meetings are scheduled for the first Friday of each quarter.

At the First Friday meetings the exchange of business cards is emphasized and encouraged. The FFBN presents guest speakers who deliver remarks on subjects of widespread interest, for example, Government Involvement in financing for Small Businesses.   The First Friday Business Network provides our members with a diverse business program, ranging from Federal government programs to business opportunities and franchising.  FFBN currently has an active business-networking database of 200 to 300 entrepreneurs and professionals.

Admission:

The cost of admission is $9.00 per meeting.
