BETTER BUSINESS THROUGH NETWORKING

Since 1990 the Bucks Business Network has been Staten Island's Premier Business Organization.  With members offering a wide range of products and services, there is certain to be a Buck with what you want or what you need.

In 1991 Staten Island business owners John Monte and David Rampulla founded the Bucks Business Network. Their vision was to create an organization that would benefit the business community by establishing a forum where experiences, both good and bad, ideas, and referrals would be shared by the membership. The organization would consist of unique businesses and community leaders who shared a desire to succeed.

Today the Bucks Business Network has more than 70 Staten Island based members who make our borough a better place to live and do business. Weekly breakfast meetings are held on Wednesday mornings at the Hampton Inn, 1120 South Avenue, Staten Island, NY. Meetings follow a basic format, club business, presenting speaker, tips. After club business a member or invited guest makes their presentation. Members are encouraged to keep the club updated on what is happening at their business, and how the club can help them grow. The presentation includes a brief question and answer period. TIPs are what the club has been built on, each member is required to offer an educational or business TIP to another member or the entire club. A TIP can consist of a referral, competitive information, or a suggestion on how to improve ones business.

Although the Bucks as a group do no community service work, and do not support any charitable organizations, our members are some of the most active people on Staten Island. You might not realize it, but if you live on Staten Island you have probably crossed paths with a Buck member.

Whether its helping a member improve their operation, advice on marketing plan, or a referral to a new client, the Bucks believe in Better Business Through Networking!
