Hosted by Tim Fulton, SBM@Lunch provides a unique networking opportunity for small business owners and executives in the Metro Atlanta area. Each month, small business leaders gather to hear from an expert speaker on a topic important to their businesses, enjoy a catered lunch, and network with other professionals.
Here’s what a recent SBM@Lunch guest had to say…
“Tim has a knack for constructing a cocktail of similarly interested disparate parties, and the interests are inevitably complementary. I always feel that I get more out of Tim’s gatherings than I put in, even if what I get out is an opportunity to help someone else. – Jeff Cunningham, Miller & Martin
