Charlotte Business Owners (11:30 AM - 12:30 PM)
The Charlotte Business Owners group is a forward thinking group for business owners to come together, network, and learn through helpful presentations.
Our meetings begin with introductions around the room (while passing around cards and ordering lunch), then topical business presentations. After the presentations, there is more networking and then we wrap-up the meeting.
The Charlotte Business Owners Networking group is a very unique group because it allows you to leverage powerful business tools like....
Personal Relationships
Your net worth is determined by your network! Our structured networking events provide a perfect opportunity to form and nurture lasting business relationships. We also teach you how to become an effective networker.
Business Education
Each event features presentations that focus on principles you can apply to grow your business.
Mastermind Support
Interact with fellow business owners to find solutions to the challenges you face. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective to solve a problem.
Become A Power Networker
As a business owner or entrepreneur, are you serious about using networking to grow your businesses? Networking matters whether you want new customers, repeat business, referrals or attention of potential investors. However, it is seldom taught anywhere and consequently most networkers fail to get adequate return out of their investment in business networking meetings.Business networking is not about exchanging cards! There are tools such as elevator pitches, one-on-ones, strategic alliances, follow ups and social media that you need to master. Whether you are a pro or a newbie, our tools help you tremendously in honing your business networking skills. Our events are quality events that help you grow into a power networker who gets real business out of networking meetings. We also strive to create a synergistic referral network for you.
Marketing Platform
You can also become a sponsor of the group or by doing a spotlight presentation. Spotlight presentations are informational/general business type of presentations that are typically non-industry specific.
Business Education
Knowledge is a business owner’s biggest asset. Our workshops give you practical tools to help you maintain an edge in the highly competitive world of business.
· Do you know how to set business objectives?
· How often do you do strategic planning?
· Would you like to master sales skills?
Dedicated business workshops cost hundreds of dollars and most small business owners do not have the time and money to take advantage of them. That is why our events feature condensed workshops that focus on just one aspect of business. What is more, you get to mastermind as you interact with fellow business owners to find out how the information applies to your business! Become a spotlight speaker and promote your business.
Looking forward to helping you expand your business through referrals and education. Let's make networking work.

Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Parade (All Day)
Takes place in Historic Downtown Wilmington; Parade starting point at Front Street & Hanover Street.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee is proud to continue their work in the celebration and honor of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. While they have long had a wonderful parade commemorating his life, legacy, and birthday, they are now committed to extending that celebration into a week of motivational events to raise awareness and motivate the community. Please visit the website for more information on all of these events at www.mlkjrcelebration-senc10.com.
The actions of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) brought about significant changes in the lives of all Americans. Therefore the MLK Celebration Committee, a subcommittee under the African American Heritage Foundation of Wilmington, Inc, (AAHFW) representing the Greater Wilmington area seek to pay homage to an American hero through educational seminars, religion events, art and culture events, displays and social gatherings which enhance the quality of life in our communities.
The AAHFW was founded to fill a void in our community. So sponsoring this week of events perfectly fits our mission and helps to build our capacity to do even more to address and improve racial relations, community and visibility of the positive achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout our history. We seek to incorporate health and wellness concerns in our annual celebration.
Wilmington is a particularly important place to fully commemorate the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. because of the continuing impact of the 1898 coup d’etat, overthrowing an elected African Americans government, which radically disenfranchised African Americans here. These actions and inactions costed many their lives and many more their rightfully owned land. In addition, the heroic efforts of the Wilmington Ten, who fought tirelessly to desegregate the local schools, must be remembered. A little known fact is that Dr. King was due to arrive in Wilmington, NC but postponed his arrival to assist striking sanitation workers with their issue in Memphis, Tennessee where he met his untimely demise.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a well known and accepted national hero, and his birthday is an opportunity to bring people together and help everyone again understand the context and history surrounding his life from the perspective of Southeastern North Carolina. It is our hope to be able to build from this week of events to other events which allow us to more fully commemorate additional important figures and events in African American
