Janesville Small Business Council – Live Stream
Forward Janesville’s Small Business Council has been absolutely delighted with the member participation in its monthly Small Business Listening Sessions. Attendee, Tawnya Hagen commented, “I will be opening All Season Runner (ASR) in downtown Janesville this month, and I love all the positive energy generated at the Small Business Listening Sessions. I feel welcomed by the business community as I attempt to unite Janesville through running and staying active. I feel confident that this group will support my efforts to thrive and grow in this community, so there will be no reason to travel to Madison or Rockford for a specialty running store.”
Guest speakers Vic Grassman, City of Janesville Economic Development Specialist and John Beckord, President of Forward Janesville will be featured at the March 11th Listening Session. They are two of the five Rock County 5.0 partners, and they will provide an overview of the initiative and explain how it has been developed to revitalize and renew our area’s economy. The participants at the February Listening Session were eager to learn more about the exciting initiative and to inquire about how they might assist in its promotion.
We encourage you to attend: Thursday, March 11, 2010, in Forward Janesville’s large conference room at 14 S. Jackson Street. The session is slated to begin at 7:30am and runs for approximately one hour. A light breakfast will be provided by Cakes by Sheila. If you cannot make it Thursday morning, watch the live stream by visiting http://forwardjvl.seeus4it.com/small-business-council/ courtesy of Small Business Technology Solutions.
