HASBAT announces new meeting location, speakers roster

By Mike Kelley, 42 staff  

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – HASBAT, the Huntsville Association of Small Businesses in Advanced Technology, has chosen a new venue for its monthly meetings and announced its planned speaker roster for the next year.

Responding to the location needs of its membership, HASBAT is now meeting at the Heritage Club at Bridge Street, which HASBAT President Phil Carey says is much more convenient to the majority of its small business members. "Our move to the Heritage Club will provide a more convenient, high-quality experience for our members, along with a shorter commute," he says, adding that the first meeting at the new location, in early April, was well-attended.
