Collaborating and Engaging
Working together to build strong businesses
As a not-for-profit organization we rely on community partners, private businesses and professionals to help us support local entrepreneurs in their business development.
Each year we work with dozens of community service organizations to introduce their clients to the possibility of self-employment and we enlist more than 70 private sector volunteers to provide expertise in seminars, mentorship groups, discussion panels, conferences and competitions.
If you work with clients considering self-employment, or are an experienced business professional who would like to assist new ventures we want to hear from you. Click on the appropriate category below to learn more.

Optimize Your Digital Life - May 23, 2019
Thu, May 23rd @ 9:15 am - 12:15 pmAt any given time, do you have THREE or more lists floating around your desk, kitchen island, car console, or brain?
Take comfort, you’re far from alone. The great news is, there’s an app for whatever you’re thinking that you want to improve, right now. There’s likely a platform, tool, or technique to help you free up time and increase productivity. What’s holding you back generally comes down to one of two things: a fear of change, or a lack of awareness. This interactive session will help you confidently cross that chasm, arriving at more efficient and effective ways of getting stuff done.
