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 />

<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 />
