increased eco nomic<br />

growth, and individual<br />

business success.<br />

Community<br />

involvement is vital<br />

to sustaining local commerce and small<br />

businesses in today’s economic climate<br />

and helps to generate more active support<br />

from local consumers.”<br />

Ellis also explained that growing<br />

B.I.G. Council membership increases the<br />

opportunity to network with a wide variety<br />

of different business types.<br />

“We’ve always been a diverse organization.<br />

Our members come from so<br />

many industries: from real estate to<br />

banking and health care to auto repair.<br />

It really creates an environment conducive<br />

to business partnerships. We’ve<br />

always said, if you need to find something<br />

for your business, you can find it<br />

right here in our community.”<br />

While the membership drive lasts all<br />

year, businesses are encouraged to join<br />

<strong>Pennsauken</strong> BIG Council<br />

Launches 2013 Membership Drive<br />

“It’s all about creating value,” adds<br />

Ellis. “The reason why the B.I.G. Council<br />

remains strong year after year is that company<br />

owners and business professionals<br />

take away something from each B.I.G.<br />

Council meeting and truly benefit from<br />

our initiatives.”<br />

Building On Past Successes<br />

In the past three years, the B.I.G.<br />

Council has made significant strides, investing<br />

over $200,000 back into the<br />

<strong>Pennsauken</strong> community. From saving<br />

the annual holiday parade and bringing<br />

back the <strong>Pennsauken</strong> Car and Bike<br />

Show, to hosting the first-ever business<br />

summit and helping launch Camden<br />

County’s “Shop Local” initiative, the organization<br />

has a substantial body of<br />

work to build from.<br />

“Every success our organization has allows<br />

us to do even more in our community,”<br />

says Ellis. “With everything that<br />

we’ve accomplished so far, 2013 is going to<br />

be an exciting year for the B.I.G. Council.”<br />
