Local business leaders gathered recently at Forward Bank for the monthly Coffee and Commerce event, sharing coffee, conversation, and updates about what’s happening in their businesses and around the community.
The informal morning gathering gave those in attendance a chance to introduce themselves and share a little about their businesses and organizations. Representatives from a wide range of industries were present, highlighting the diversity of the local business community. Attendees included larger organizations such as Forward Bank and Citizens State Bank, as well as representatives from the Stanley-Boyd Area School District and Stanley Historical Society.
Small businesses were also well represented, including local entrepreneurs from Martino’s, Cody’s Classic Cars and Korenuk Heating and Cooling. The mix of businesses—from financial institutions and education to skilled trades and specialty shops—helped create lively conversations and new connections.
Coffee and Commerce is designed to be a relaxed networking opportunity where local professionals can learn about each other’s work, share updates, and build stronger relationships within the community.
Next month’s Coffee and Commerce will be hosted by Winger Construction on Thursday, April 2, at 8 a.m. Community members and business representatives are invited to attend, enjoy a cup of coffee, and continue the conversation about supporting local businesses.
