Dear Business Leaders,
[vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A warm welcome to BLAC.\u00a0Since we started BLAC in July 2010<\/strong><\/span>, the number of members had steadily grown to over 100, and it continues to grow as you read this message.<\/p>\n

This shows that like you<\/span><\/strong>, many SME leaders<\/strong><\/span> in Singapore, believe that continuous learning<\/strong><\/span> is the key to success and are keen to be part BLAC\u2019s growing community of inspired leaders.
[vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

As business owners and entrepreneurs, we know the challenges of running a business too well.

What can I do to counter rising business costs?<\/strong>

How can I stay ahead of the competition?<\/strong>

What should I do to attract and retain the best talents?<\/strong>
[vc_column][vc_column_text]
These are just some of the questions we ask ourselves as we strive to grow our businesses<\/strong><\/span> in an increasingly volatile global marketplace.<\/p>\n

And what better way to find out the answers to these and more, than from fellow business leaders like ourselves?
[vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

BLAC members hail from all walks of life<\/strong> <\/span>and all industries. Some are fellow graduates from various Advanced Management Programmes who have benefited from the knowledge gained through the course of our studies. Others are keen learners and active participants in BLAC\u2019s initiatives.<\/p>\n

Whether you are a CEO or a senior manager, BLAC provides the extended platform to continue your learning journey through business leadership<\/strong> forums, seminars,<\/strong><\/span> and other activities. You will learn from others and in turn, share your insights and experience to groom future business leaders<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Complementing our wide range of events is the BLAC website, which helps members stay up to date<\/strong><\/span> with the latest\u00a0management insights,\u00a0connect with fellow members, or find out about the\u00a0latest events.
[vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re not our member yet, simply\u00a0apply online<\/strong><\/span> to be part of BLAC and start enjoying the benefits of being part of Singapore\u2019s premium network for SME leaders.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the BLAC committee, I wish you all the best as you continue to learn and grow your business<\/strong><\/span>, and help others to do the same.
[vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Best regards,<\/p>\n
