These
workshops and seminars provide information on key business resources and skills
that are critical to the success of small businesses. Below is the schedule:
Workshops:
- Practical
Accounting and Budgeting - Saturday, November
2, 9 a.m. - noon.
Presenter:
Maryanne Mowen. Don't
let numbers get you down! This workshop will help business owners determine how
best to keep track of, record, and use financial information. A flexible system
that can be used for budgeting and decision making will be explained. Basic
budgeting will be presented and tailored to your business needs.
- Intermediate
Quickbooks - Saturday, November 9, 9 a.m. – noon.
Presenter:
Suzanne Atkinson.
This is a hands-on, interactive workshop featuring expert presenter Suzanne
Atkinson. It is designed for business owners/finance officers who are currently
using Quickbooks. The workshop is ideal for those who are ready to move beyond
just using the register to the specifics of invoicing, entering bills, and
creating more sophisticated reports. Participants who want to bring their own
Quickbooks files on a laptop to get specific advice are welcome to do so.
Participants who wish to email the presenter with their questions in advance
are encouraged to do that.
- Pitching
Your Ideas To Grow Your Business - Saturday, November 16, 9 a.m. – noon.
Presenter:
Stephanie Palmer and Ben Taxy.
In Hollywood, the writers and producers at the top routinely pitch and sell
multi-million dollar ideas that are invisible, intangible, and unquantifiable.
They do it in a seemingly casual and effortless way, though there is a strategy
to how they succeed. In this interactive workshop, former MGM studio executive
Stephanie Palmer and professional writer Ben Taxy will share these pitching
techniques and help you to customize what works in Hollywood for your own
business. This workshop is designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs
who are looking to find new clients, build their customer base, or secure
financing from investors.
Seminar:
- Understanding
Contracts & Legal Structures - Wednesday, November 6, 6 p.m. -
8:30 p.m.
Presenter:
Marcia Swain. This
seminar presents information on selecting the legal structure (e.g.,
corporation, limited liability company and the like) most appropriate for
organizing your business and describes the process of setting up a company,
including regulatory and compliance matters. Information about contracts and
contractual issues of importance to all small business owners, including the
meaning of legal terminology frequently used in contracts will also be
discussed, enabling workshop participants to determine what contracts say and
what they mean. Expert presenter Marcia Swain has spent her career in the
practice of law as well as mediation and negotiation.
