SBDC 2023 Resiliency Academy

Join NH SBDC at its 2023 Resiliency Academy to take a deeper dive into three specific areas of business and community resiliency: Cybersecurity, Sustainability, and Inclusivity. These issues affect a business' bottom line, brand image, and ability to attract and retain workers. Addressing them protects your organization from unplanned disruptions.

The 3-day Academy presents expert guest speakers, interactive exercises, resources, and networking. Open to current and prospective business owners, community leaders, and others who have an interest in the resiliency of businesses and their communities.



Resiliency Academy is free to attend and breakfast and lunch are included, but registration for one, two, or all three sessions is required.
