In addition to the online Information Sessions, as the recently appointed Program Manager for the Eastern region, I’d like to avail myself to you by offering to come to your offices to present all of our WBDC services/resources to either your council members (at your next meeting) or if you’d like to invite a group of your local business community members, I’d be happy to present our services/resources to them, along with explaining our grants and the specific Ignite grant process for anyone who may be interested.
We appreciate your support as always, and hope that you can share this grant opportunity and upcoming class offerings in your newsletters!
