East Herts Event Oct09
Local MP Mark Prisk supports us to get local businesses 'Connected'
Friday 2nd October 2009 at the Marriott Hanbury Manor, local businesses and non-profit organisations 'Get Connected'
Over 40 local businesses and 30 non profit organisations from the East Hertfordshire area and beyond got together at this most elegant event.
The event was the offical launch of our East Herts project - bringing the first of a series of connecting events in the area.
The launch was a fabulous partnership event sponsored by the gracious Marriott Hanbury Manor and East Herts Council. Not only did we have a range of businesses and non-profit organisations, but also a varied range of size from micro businesses to corporates such as Tesco, Waitrose and Merck.
The key theme of all our events is to connect local businesses with non-profit organisations and demonstrate how engagement in community activities will bring business benefits and in turn support the local community, building its capacity and prosperity.
Nicci Statham, Chief Executive of Get Connected commented, “This event was an amazingly elegant and connecting experience, not only unique in its range of the different sectors - but also the sizes of businesses from micro to multinational. I am always totally inspiried by the opportunities and energy that is created for and by participants at our events..."
Our next event will be at the Marriott Cheshunt in January 2010 - approximately 10:00am to 12:30pm.
