“I joined Center City Business Association to meet professionals in Center City that are influencers and to learn more about other businesses. This organization of CCBA has shared so many exciting stories of success, and growth for the city of Philadelphia.  I am glad I am a member.  I like to bring store staff  occasionally, like  my co-op student for the experience and exposure, or my Controller from corporate, or a selling associate to learn more about the business in Philadelphia. It’s a great source for building friendship, and business partnerships.”
