Capital Executive Feature

Tallahassee, FL, June 30th, 2009 – Social Networking has become a household phrase. Local Tallahassee magazine, Capital Executive, recently dedicated their quarterly summer issue to the popular topic. With Onyx Group holding a strong presence in the field they were presented with the opportunity to be a contributing columnist for the magazine.

Onyx Group’s column was centered towards association executives and their need to participate in social networking for generating new membership and increasing communication amongst current association members.

“Social networking is a free, fun, and a valuable business tool. You get back what you put in and it’s definitely worth the effort involved,” Matt Meinrod, Onyx Group Regional Business Developer and article columnist.

Tallahassee, Florida, June 15, 2009 – Onyx Group was awarded the 2009 Small Business Service Award on Friday night at the 26th Annual Small Business Recognition Gala, a part of the annual Small Business Week Celebration hosted by Florida A&M University’s Small Business Development Center and other local, state, and county agencies.

“We are so excited! As always, it feels great to be honored by our peers for all the hard work we do,” said Agency Principal Kris Carter.

Charities Heating Up

Tallahassee, Florida, June 15, 2009 – June has not only been a busy month in the office for Onyx Group staffers, but also around the community as charitable efforts are becoming more apparent. Participating in both the 2009 Big Bend Start! Heart Walk and Big Bend March of Dimes events in the coming weeks the Onyx team has been charging throughout town looking for donations and are right on pace to reach their goals.

“It’s so easy to get caught up in our own lives in and out of work, but working hard for good causes like the Heart Walk and March of Dimes gives me a chance to give back to the community,” said Matt Meinrod.
