The Chamber board has been asking members what additional services the Chamber could provide that would be of value to the membership. From that discussion, multiple member business owners said that they would appreciate small discussion groups to talk through issues that we all have in common, and brainstorm for solutions. To that end, we have scheduled three discussion groups centered around topics common to all of us. The first topic is "Planning for the off season" and will be held on 11/12 at 8:30am at You Need Pie Diner & Bakery (merchandise room).
This discussion group is designed for business owners and managers preparing for the seasonal slowdown when cash flow challenges are more common. In this participant-led collaborative session, participants will discuss tried-and-true methods to manage expenses, boost off-season revenue, and maintain financial health until business picks up again. Also discuss potential layoff and potential job sharing among businesses.
