Welcome to Centresa^℠

Centresa^℠ is a collaborative association of small businesses, not for profit organizations, learners and advocates. We believe in our individual businesses and charitable causes. We believe in coorperation and collaboration in service of the larger community. We believe that change begins within each of us and that as we grow, we change our community. We are nonpolitical and nondenominational, welcoming all who enjoying working together, being creative, finding a new way. The business models of the 19th and 20th centuries were fun while they lasted but, baby, it's time for something new. It's time to work together; it's time to meet the challenges; it's time to build new community solutions.

Centresa^℠ members are commited to conducting business in a socially responsible manner. That means we look beyond our own profits to examine the consequences of our actions. How are people, the planet, and our communities affected by what we do? Our customers will understand that when we spend a few extra pennies to avoid being unhealthy, unfair, or disrespectful. And we believe they will respect us for making that choice. Because in our hearts, we are good. We are generous. We enjoy meaningful work. Sometimes we smile and we step aside and we let the other person go first. Why should it not be the same in our businesses?

Which means if you're working with a Centresa^℠ Business/NFP Member, you are assured you're working with someone who supports their community. Someone who goes out of his/her way to get involved, to help out on the project, to make a contribution, to make yet another phone call. The good people who make a difference. Thanks for supporting them.
