Bridges to Better Business 2022

GROWING PROFITS IN A DIFFICULT SEASON

Join us for our annual Bridges to Better Business conference that will bring many of our small business community together!  Network, learn, and be inspired as we dive into relevant topics and celebrate some of our local small businesses!

Our KEYNOTE Speaker:

You will have the pleasure to hear from Keeley Patterson, from O’Farrell Financial Services.

“As a business owner you are a professional juggler.  This is a challenge in good times, but over the last few years this “job” has been much more challenging financially.

Managing Cash flow, people, marketing and ultimately profits has made many business owners that are doing well or not these days, really think about what’s next.

Where are we going over the next year or two and how do we navigate the road ahead.   We will give some tips and insights for helping to get through these times.”
