Business Smarts 2021

We are seeking presenters for our January-December 2021 Business Smarts Sessions on topics that help meet the many challenges of business management and ownership.

Business Smarts sessions are held on the 2nd Friday of every month. We currently meet via Zoom but hope to eventually get back to in-person networking sessions in the SV SBDC offices.
Virtual sessions meet from 9:00-10:30 am. In-person sessions may return to an earlier time according to the wishes of our attendees.
Session Topics might include customer support, human resources, accounting & finance, legal issues, marketing, sales, operations, technology, competition, strategic planning, work/life balances, discussion of a business-oriented book, or any topic related to smart business management.
The goal of every Business Smarts session is that attendees leave with practical information they can put to use in their business or professional life.
