GBN is the place for diverse events and meaningful connections in which to build the base of your business. Grow your communi ... ty while growing your business. GBN was founded in June of 2011 when Alan Thompson, a local business owner, was tired of the same old networking groups. He published his idea on Meetup.com to build something new and better. The first meeting in Charleston SC had only 7 members and those 7 members grew into Hundreds. GBN became a non-profit in 2014 and created a board of active leaders in the GBN Family. Today GBN has groups located across Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, North and South Carolina. We have 1000’s of followers on our facebook and meetup pages. Now we are looking for you to join us here in the virtual world through LinkedIn and physically at a location near you. Don’t stay where you are, grow with the GBN family and learn how to make your world the one you want it to be. Some of our benefits are: Quality Referrals and Leads Prizes over the course of the year Positive people, positive value, positive results! Networking groups designed for your time frame in mind.
