Greetings West Bank business friends,

A reminder that our member meeting is coming up next week and we’ll be bringing in an expert to help you and your staff navigate MNSure.

We’re also launching a new Block Ambassador program to help get even more involvement from our neighbor businesses on the West Bank.

More information is below. Looking forward to seeing you next week if not sooner!

Become a WBBA Block Ambassador  

Are you interested in supporting the work of the WBBA and connecting with your neighbors? Become a WBBA Block Ambassador! Block Ambassadors help get the word out about WBBA programs, events, and opportunities. Ambassadors are responsible for the following, acting as great PEERs on the West Bank: 🙂

  • Participate! Come to WBBA member meetings and read the WBBA member newsletter.
  • Engage! Block Ambassadors visit and connect with approximately 1-2 blocks of businesses on an ongoing basis.
  • Educate! Block Ambassadors notify their neighbor businesses about upcoming meetings and seminars, as well as recommend new opportunities like the façade improvement grant.
  • Report! Block Ambassadors will listen and record any suggestions they receive and bring them back to the WBBA to help us continue to improve our programs and services.

Together we’ll continue to make the West Bank a great place to live, learn, and work.
If you’re interested in being a Block Ambassador, let us know! email:info@thewestbank.org.
