ABOUT
Who We Are
We’re NOT JUST A NETWORKING GROUP - we’re a team.
Sherwood Park Business Club (SPBC) exists to help local professionals grow their businesses through authentic connections, word-of-mouth referrals, commitment, and accountability.
We’re not just a networking group - we’re a team. Every member is vetted, and every seat is exclusive. We focus on trust, consistency, and value, meeting bi-weekly to share referrals, track progress, and grow together.

Why It Works
SPBC was created by local business owners who wanted something different — a networking group that values balance, relationships, and real results.
Here, success is measured not by pressure or quotas, but by consistency, collaboration, and the connections we build together.
Executive-Led & Member-driven
SPBC is run by a volunteer executive team, guided by policies, and driven by member input.
All membership fees are reinvested into club growth and operations. No individual profits - only the group does.

Let’s grow our businesses — together.
SPBC has given me the opportunity to grow and diversify my customer data base. This amazing group of small business owners are always networking which often lead to many referrals and warm leads. This is such an amazing group of like minded people with the same common goals. I look forward to our bi weekly meetings and the opportunity to share a breakfast every two weeks with this group.
