Collier 2021: The Secrets of Growing a Small Business in Collier County
The Secrets to Growing a Small Business in Collier County is the second in a series of annual events by SCORE Naples to support small businesses in Collier County. This year’s installment will feature five speakers who have been integral to the Collier business community over the last decade or more. They have held leadership positions or advised some of the most successful small companies in the county. The event’s objective is to help you learn how to start and successfully grow your own business using the lessons learned by established men, women, and minority business people.
Each speaker will share his/her story including the keys to success in launching and growing businesses; the key obstacles that had to be overcome along the way; and challenges and opportunities and challenges that were unique to Collier County. After the speakers finish the ten minute talks, the moderator, Kristi Bartlett of the Greater Naples Chamber of commerce, will moderate a 25 minute panel discussion followed by a 25 minute Q&A session with questions from the audience.
We expect this to be an exciting and informative event and should represent two hours very well spent. Last year’s event received an enthusiastic response and available audience slots were filled quickly.
