The Business Development Mastermind Group educational program has been designed by SSWBN to assist in business development, encourage collaboration, build connections, and create strategic plans for all phases of businesses. 

Three groups of different business levels have been created to support all stages of growth. Please join us for this **NEW** program developed with SSWBN's mission focus of providing members with Contacts, Coaching, Collaboration and Community.

Groups will be in contact every week but  meet  in person mostly every other week (schedule varies) for eight weeks.
