SOHO Coffee Talk - How to Setup a Board of Advisors |
Thursday, July 19,
8:15 - 9:30 a.m.
Eau Claire Chamber of Commerce
PESI Conference Room
101 N. Farwell Street
Sponsored by: Everclear Hearing Products, LLC and S.A. Wallace LLC
As small business owners, we must make decisions about managing our business without the support of a Board or a team of Executives that larger businesses enjoy. Consider creating your own support team by starting a Board of Advisors. Imagine a group of 3-6 business owners, each with their own skillsets and talents, all working together toward the common goal of helping each of their businesses grow and succeed. Group member's work together to hold each other accountable, celebrate successes, and challenge each member to be a better businessperson.
Attendees will have a chance to both learn about the concept of an Advisory Board and then talk to other SOHO business owners about potentially forming a Board. There are guidelines to know when collaboration turns into taking advantage of "free" advice. Come to this event prepared to talk to other business owners about how you can help each other.
