"We developed the Block Party program with members of the community over five years ago when we saw a need for a more impactful way for local business owners and Daniel Island consumers to become better acquainted. We've held more than 50 sell out events now and the feedback continues to be that this is one of the most effective networking forums in Charleston. As Vice President of DIBA, I couldn't be more proud of what this organization has accomplished and the creative way we all support one another. I have watched new businesses flourish on the island and existing businesses grow. What we're doing is making a difference. Together, we strengthen this wonderful community."
