We held a great CEO Circle meeting this past month with several of TechWorks affiliates and staff holding an engaging conversation on entrepreneurship as an economic growth engine for the Flint and Genesee County region. Ron Scholl of G-S Associates shared great information on recent events attended and upcoming conferences for entrepreneurs and innovators to consider attending.
As leaders of a company or organization, learning from fellow peers about industry trends and hardships is vital to growth and profitability. Our meetings aim to provide executives with the network and ability to interact and discuss business situations and topics in a non-competitive and comfortable environment.
An a la carte breakfast is available for any interested participant.
