Our History
The KBC started in 1994 in a cozy little cafe in the downtown Kent area. Nine local business people, servicing Kent and the local area, decided to create a referral group based upon the quality of referrals and not the quantity. The original members had visited other nationally sponsored networking groups, that appeared more like a benevolent and protective order, exerting a fair amount of pressure (stress) on their membership. They felt that just doing business was all the stress they needed, and thus promoted a "Friends doing business…with Friends" philosophy.
Members are encouraged, but not required, to exchange business with other members of the Club. In the spirit of that membership, we suggest that club members, at a minimum, have an opportunity to bid on service requests, recognizing one's need for practical decision-making, driven by the combination of price, quality and service.
