Making Connections

One thing was clear during last week's Small Business Roundtable: A supportive community makes business run smoother. Attendees swapped challenges and proposed solutions long after the meeting's end time. Topics ranged from boundaries with clients to IT hacks, and more than a few people were seen taking notes (Chamber staff included). If you missed this roundtable, we hope to see you at the next one!
