A Community Conversation – Small Business Success

WHAT: Is Wicomico County a good place to start a business?
WHO: Anyone with an interest
WHEN: Thursday, February 16, 1 to 3 p.m.
WHERE: Main Library, Room 1

SALISBURY, MARYLAND – Is Wicomico County a good place to start a business? Is this a place where small businesses are welcome and supported? Are there ways we could work together to encourage growth?

On February 16, the Wicomico Public Library will host an open conversation on these topics from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Main Library. Individuals and representatives from local agencies and organizations involved in the issue, including small business owners, local economic development groups, government agencies, colleges, and employment support agencies, are invited to participate.

This will be a chance to share information, concerns, and ideas. The purpose is to bring together people from different sectors of the community who share a similar interest in the success of small businesses in Wicomico County and create open lines of communication and awareness. We hope that participants will come away with new information to pass on to the people they serve, new awareness of resources available to them and greater understanding of possible roadblocks to that success. We further hope each person will leave with a few ideas on how we can work together to increase the chances for successful small business initiatives.

This will not be a forum for political campaigning, fund raising, or sales. There are no featured speakers. This is a chance for the concerned people throughout the community to share their ideas.

The program is free. All attendees are welcome to bring brochures or information about small business support services and resources that are available to share with the group.
