Business Builders: Practical Learning for Real Growth

What Is Business Builders?

Business Builders is our every-other-month professional development series designed specifically for busy small business owners and managers. Each session features a subject-matter expert who delivers actionable insights you can implement immediately—no fluff, no theory, just practical guidance tailored to the challenges local businesses face.

Topics rotate to cover the most-requested areas, including social media strategy, AI tools, digital marketing, customer retention, finance tips, HR updates, and how to plug into the many local resources available to help you grow.
