About CBP
Concord Business Partnership Mission:
To advocate, connect and empower local commercial property and business owners to engage with Town of Concord leadership to support strategic development in order to create and maintain a vibrant, diverse and sustainable business community.
"I appreciate being informed, to prepare for issues I hadn't thought of before hearing from the Town Manager or Department heads."- CBP member
The Concord Business Partnership was founded in 1993 by Concord author and oral historian Renee Garrelick to advance a closer working relationship between the Town of Concord, Massachusetts government and its commercial sector.
CBP’s original goals, outlined in 1993, are relevant today.
- To further a cooperative working relationship with Concord’s Town Government and strengthen participation by its members of the business community in public activities.
- To foster cooperative working relationships between members of the business community.
Monthly meetings for members provide an opportunity to engage in dialog with one another and invited Town staff, committee members, elected officials, and others. The participation of the Concord Town Manager and Select Board representatives reinforces communication with Town government and a unity of purpose.
Concord Business Partnership members are encouraged to volunteer on Town boards and committees. Their experience enables the group to serve as a resource for Town government proposals that impact the business community.
CBP is incorporated in Massachusetts as a 501c6 non-profit.
