We joined the Highland Business Association to promote our business to the community while giving back to our area residents. We wanted to belong to a group that was not only concerned about helping business but also equally interested in helping the local area.
Lori Rea, Manager, LaSalle Bank – White Lake Marketplace:
I joined the Highland Business Association to be involved in my community. I not only work here but I live here. I want to see this community excel. The meetings have been very informative and interesting. I learn about new and existing businesses in the area and what they can offer me as a consumer. I also am able to make business owners aware of financial opportunities as they grow their business. I truly believe in utilizing the local businesses in which you live. Local shopping helps to keep the community strong and makes it a great place to live.
John & Kim Lucas, Owners, Five Star Ace Hardware:
We joined the Highland Business Association because we believe in supporting the community we are located in. Through the HBA we have had the opportunity to be involved with other businesses and people here in the Highland area. It also allows us to be involved with lcoal government to better our community. Our business benefits from the support, advertising and exposure the HBA porvides us. We would encourage others to get involved and continue to support local business by shopping in our community.

Being a female business owner I wanted to join the Women In Business group. I was fortunate to also be able to belong to the HBA and White Lake Twp Business Association.
Linda Bonham, Advantage Tax & Financial ServicesI joined the Highland Business Association so that
I could become acquainted with other business owners in the area. In
my contact with clients I am often asked for referrals to other
business professionals and I wanted to personally know the companies that I am
referring to. HBA has helped me meet many business and helped me become
more involved in the community where I work and live. I am very committed
to shopping in and utilizing the businesses in our area. I've received other benefits from belonging.
Today I met with a new client who got my name from the annual HBA
calendar. I've also utilized the bulk mailing benefit that is
offered. I saved $138 on the mailing I just did - more than enough to
cover my yearly dues.
