The SBA is very important to Make It Loud, as John serves on their board of directors.  They are a business networking organization that is charity focused. They hold one large fundraiser during the year, and support gads of local charities with that money--  as well as all the business they generate for small business owners locally in the Suwanee area.  Make It Loud is proud to be a part of the SBA. The article can be read by clicking the link in the title.  Make It Loud has created the SBA's website for them, and we are happy to lend our creativity to each gathering to encourage and motivate small business in the Suwanee area.
