The Diverse Business Excellence Sessions are a series of virtual educational workshops designed to address the unique challenges businesses face in their daily operations and their journey toward overall success. Among the most common challenges are legal, financial, and contracting obstacles. These sessions aim to provide entrepreneurs with a platform to learn, grow, and apply practical knowledge to enhance their businesses. Participants will also gain insight into other community resources and opportunities available now or in the near future. Topics can cover services, opportunities in development, or essential information small businesses need to know.
Reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance. Contact ORMBDA@businessimpactnw.org or call (206) 324-4330 x 135
