Steve Carlson had the program today. He introduced Jean Walker and Nancy Rogers who spoke about the entrepreneur's group that has been formed through the ISU Extension. Expanding Entrepreneurs is a non-membership group open to all independent business owners. The purpose is to collaborate on common issues in order to enhance business performance and outcomes. The focus is on business start up, promotion & marketing, growth & sustainability and technical assistance. They are planning a Greene County expo on October 26th. They meet the 4th Monday of every month from 5:15-6:15 at the extension office. The next meeting is June 24th. More information on the group is available on their website. Thanks to Steve, Jean, and Nancy for the program!
