The UFV School of Business and the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce co-hosted its first Business-after-Business mixer in the SUB building on February 25. The event welcomed over 100 guests from the community, the university, and Chamber of Commerce.
The event served as an opportunity for local businesses to mix and mingle, and gave the School of Business an opportunity to showcase some of our students and programs. There were speeches from the Frank Ulbrich, Director of the School of Business, UFV President Mark Evered, and Allan Asaph, Director of the Chamber of Commerce. Instructor Mark Breedveld was emcee for the evening, and Executive Director of Campus planning Craig Toews gave tours of the new SUB building to interested attendees. We also had some UFV students in attendance, some of whom are working with the Chamber to sell memberships (a class project that is in its third year).
The event was a complete success. Chamber members were able to see what great things are being done in the School of Business, and were given the opportunity to give input and suggestions for new programming in the School of Business. Attendees were also able to try some delicious wine provided by Maan Farms, who were also in attendance of the event.
