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.
