Beth is a true advocate of supporting local and has created a great platform for the local business community. If you own a business you should definitely be a member of Discover Bradenton!
My first experience with Discover Bradenton was last summer at an after hours meeting. Immediately when I arrived, I was welcomed by Beth. All the members were very friendly and treated me like they’ve know me for years. I even got some business out of that first meeting. I later joined Discover Bradenton and it’s been one of the best networking groups for my business.
