THE DALLAS POST Sunday, August 24, 2008 BMBA Continued from Page 1 about 100 members. Membership is annual and mailers to renew membership for 2009 will be sent out October 31. The group works closely with the Greater Valley In- dependent Business Alliance (GVIBA), an umbrella group for local business associations. “The benefit (of belonging to the BMBA) is the opportunity to know each other better and foster cooperation, a little bit of syner- gy,” Goeringer said. “This is an ef- fort to encourage the public to deal with independent business people,” Goeringer said. “We also make an effort to give back to the community through social events.” BMBA members typically hold a lunch meeting the second Thursday of each month at differ- ent member restaurants. The members took a summer recess in July and August, but will recon- vene in September with an after- work mixer instead of a lunch meeting, allowing members to become better acquainted with one another and to network. The people who are updating the or- ganizations Web site will also be in attendance to introduce the new site. Board members of the BMBA meet monthly with the exception of a break in July in the confer- ence room at the Twin Stacks Center. Current board members are Goeringer, president; Sonia Seman, treasurer; Diane Dreier, secretary; Tony Shipula, Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Busi- ness and Industry representative; Liz Martin, Doug Burak, Jack Jones, Elva Valentine, Lynn Ban- ta and Steve Skammer.

That’s what makes the association, good board members. They very firmly believe in the nature of the associ- ation, what our goals are and they understand the benefit of work- ing with a group and making that group stronger.” The BMBA’s Web site is cur- rently under renovation and the new site is scheduled to be un- veiled on September 11. Addi- tions to the site consist of a mem- bership list, recent activities, an events calendar and member biographies and photos. As president, Goeringer hopes to increase membership, have more social opportunities for members, increase exposure to GVIBA and act as a voice for busi- nesses in the Back Mountain. “We always are looking to ex- pand our membership,” Goering said. “We will be participating in the Harvest Fest in Dallas to bring on new members.” An associate real estate broker and independent residential ap- praiser, Goeringer became a BMBA board member in 2000 when he developed a business re- lationship with Century 21 Smith-Hourigan.
