Women entrepreneurs are invited to attend the EDC’s Women’s Business Boot Camp, a half-day workshop specifically designed to tune up existing businesses and to start new ones, on January 19th on Orcas Island. Participants will learn how to write or revamp a business plan, find funding, learn about marketing and networking, learn about government programs, and much more.
The workshop features speakers from the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries, and the EDC.
