When Small Businesses Survive,
Local Communities Thrive.

Small businesses and local non-profits need, and deserve, the support of the local community. They are the local economic engine, the character, the heart and soul of our hometown and generate the majority of new jobs.

Our hands-on, grass root level workshops were created by veteran entrepreneurs for new and established entrepreneur. Our mission is to teach small business owners and nonprofit the basic marketing skills they need to succeed and contribute to a "sustainable community-based economy.

Thanks to the generous and enthusiastic support of local business leaders and corporate partners, the average cost of our workshops is just $49 per participant.

Key partners are local newspapers, Chambers of Commerce, business and business and community alliances, marketing associations, and corporate sponsors. Partners also offer "scholarships" to underwrite the cost of workshop and works books to those with special situations.
