The Only Site for Business Networking
in South Augusta, GA
South Augusta, GA has potential! It is really the only area in the Augusta that has the room to expand. South Augusta has a lot to offer yet it seems that no one knows about it.
SouthAugustaBusiness.com is a joint venture by two South Augusta businesses to help promote and network businesses serving South Augusta GA. This site is to be a clearinghouse of information, resources, and happenings for businesses and individuals in and around South Augusta, GA.
"2009 - Seven years ago, I met with several friends and colleagues and talked about the lack of business networking breakfast meetings in South Augusta. We discussed several concepts and South Augusta Business @ Breakfast was conceived. We started out having meetings at different locations each month. That had to be changed because there was a lack of venues to hold meetings with 30 plus people for breakfast meetings. We found a home in Dave's restaurant (formerly located in Southgate Plaza), thanks to Gloria Smith reaching out to me when she heard about the meetings. We met there for over a year but ultimately outgrew it and moved to the Holiday Inn. I'm pleased to say that we're still meeting there and the growth still continues.
We are still averaging 70 plus people from all walks of life at each meeting. Praise goes to God!
Because of a demand to hold networking meetings in the evenings, 'Networking on the MIC' will premiere on Thursday, January 8th and will be held every second Thursday of the month.
I'm excited about the growth and potential of Augusta South. We hope that you use this website as a networking tool, and more importantly, attend as many of our Augusta South networking events. Our goal is to help you develop new and lasting relationships.
Have a wonderful year.
