On Friday, May 17, 2024, the Duluth Business Association (DBA) brought 30 members to the Gallery at Northside Hospital Duluth at the invitation of Jay Dennard, COO of Northside Hospital Duluth.
The idea was to create an enjoyable lunchtime event for the Northside employees where they could learn more about the products and services available in the Duluth Community. DBA President Lisa Thompson asked Dennard to share what motivated him to create this exceptional event for DBA.
“We are so excited to have you with us today! We are extremely fortunate to be a part of the Northside Hospital System. With five hospitals and many ambulatory sites, we need to connect with our community, and what better way to start getting to know each other than to work with the Duluth Business Association? To invite them into our wonderful gallery and give our employees the opportunity to make connections with business owners here in Duluth. We are so excited to have you all here today and we are looking forward to strengthening those relationships,” said Dennard.
Adding to the festive mood was the Low-Co-Motion food truck with delicious artisan sandwiches. Everyone from the DBA who participated in the event found the results very positive and the organization was pleased to provide a fun learning day for all of DBA’s neighbors at Northside Duluth. Special thanks to Jill Morris, Volunteer Coordinator, who made everything come together in the right place at the right time.
