UPCOMING AUGUST MEETINGS

BACK TO BUSINESS
. . . why you need to be fast, flexible, and first!
Wednesday, August 12th and 19th
8:15 am – 9:45 am
via Zoom

For August, our speaker will be Beth Donalds, MBA, CPA, The Business Doctor.  In her Back to Business discussion, Beth will drive home the concept that the year is not ove. You still have more than four months to change your 2020 results -- but you need to be fast, flexible, and first to do it!  She will talk about why September is the perfect time to recharge your business, and as an attendee you will leave understanding how to take stock, chart your course, and adjust your sails so YOU control the rest of your 2020 journey. Join the conversation about how all of us can navigate the new business environment – you may just pick up some success tips along the way!
 
A little about Beth:

Price for Members and Non Members
$10 pp
The MRCC is working diligently each day to keep members informed of ways to help their businesses during this pandemic, as well as their normal job of driving the machine that keeps WIBI running.  It is a not for profit organization and in the absence of in-person events that generate operating revenue, this $10 pp fee is our way of supporting the MRCC.

All are welcome so please bring a friend.  We hope to "see" you there!
Also note if you are a nonmember, attending a virtual meeting will not count toward your two allowed meetings before membership.
