First Annual Small Business Resource Day

Small Business Owners, mark your calendar for June 27th from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for an all-free event — the First Ever Small Business Resource Day at the Community College Workforce Alliance’s Center for Entrepreneurial Development Center at the Verizon Entrepreneurial Resource Center, AdvanTech, 501 East Franklin Street. Over 21 local, state and federal agencies plus Verizon, Wachovia Bank, Capital One Bank, BB&T, Richmond Times Dispatch, and TimesDispatch.com are coming to share valuable information to you, the Small Business Owner.

All of these organizations are dedicated to connecting the Small Business Community with Central Virginia’s valuable Resources. Each organization will have tables of information for you and will have time to answer many of your questions.

While you’re at the center take advantage of our 14 different complimentary small business related seminars.

These are some of the 30-minute seminars that will run from 9:00 a.m, to 5:00 p.m. don’t miss any of them:
