WEEKLY UPDATE FROM THE GREATER CLINTON-AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/BY DAVID LEE-DIRECTOR: 7/19/24
—– We are excited to announce a new endeavor for our Small Business Development Center! Starting July 31st, we will provide a quarterly meeting for business owners wanting to collaborate with other like-minded people, as well as get a little education and/or business updates from the SBDC. These will be offered in two locations on the same date…one at the Sedalia campus, and one at the Lake campus. This will be a “floating” meeting, and we will ask if businesses would like to sponsor the event at their location in the future (provide coffee and donuts, and location). Our hope is to have the meetings throughout the 13 County region we serve. There will be no cost for the meeting, but registration is required so we know how many to plan for.
