Need Help to Make Your Business Grow, Streamline Procedures, Market Effectively?

The Franklin County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce a series of business seminars targeted at informing and teaching members and the general public about useful tools, tips, techniques and general information to help their business grow, streamline procedures, market effectively and more.

The series will run every other month beginning in February with alternate morning and noon times to afford members and others the best opportunity to attend. These are intended to be casual, comfortable settings to enhance the learning experience.

One of our newest members, Ross Lasley aka ‘The Internet Educator’ will kick off the series by presenting a seminar on ‘The Three Things ~ What is a Website Anyway?’ This first session will take place on February 27th at 12 noon as a 'Brown Bag Lunch' seminar in the conference room of the Chamber office. Feel free to bring your lunch and enjoy this informative presentation.

These are FREE and open to the public, but you must RSVP to the Chamber office. A tentative schedule is listed below, and we will post updates and speakers/topics as they are confirmed. We would also like to invite you, our members, to be a speaker and share your expertise in areas which would benefit other members and their businesses. Contact the Chamber office if you are interested. The Chamber office is located at 407 Wilton Road, Suite 1, Farmington.
