Business Networking
I was fortunate to join the Seattle Executive Association (SEA) in 2003. The purpose of this association is for members, who run businesses in the Seattle area, to support each other. Therefore, only one company per industry can join the association. Members are expected to prioritize purchasing services and products from fellow member companies whenever possible.
Over the past 21 years, I have served in various roles, including officer, treasurer, and president. Additionally, a manager from my company was the first Japanese woman to be selected as president. As of the end of this July, I have stepped down from SEA, and my position has been handed over to a company manager at PSPINC. He has already served as the president of the associate group and is scheduled to become the president of the main group in January 2025. This marks the third president from our company, which is a great honor.
There are many executive associations across the United States, and they form an organization called the International Executives Association (IEA). In September, an IEA conference will be held in Las Vegas.
Introducing Biznomos
At PSPINC, we developed a portal site system called Biznomos to manage executive associations. This system strengthens the collaboration among association members and facilitates smoother business networking. At the upcoming conference in Las Vegas, PSPINC will present Biznomos as a sponsor.
The Importance of Business Networking
Business networking is a crucial element for the success of individual businesses. Here are some key benefits of business networking:
- Sharing Resources: Members share information and resources, promoting business growth.
- Discovering New Business Opportunities: Networking allows for the discovery of new business opportunities.
- Building Trust: Regular interactions help build trust and form long-term business partnerships.
- Enhancing Knowledge and Skills: Interacting with other business leaders improves one’s knowledge and skills.
Through our experience, we have realized how important and beneficial business networking is. We aim to continue improving our business through such activities.
