Small
business owners will continue to have access to no-cost, practical education
thanks to a new collaboration between the Clatsop Community College Small
Business Development Center, Wauna Credit Union, and Oregon State University
Extension.
This
collaboration has launched a digital masterclass series, “Summer Small Business
Bootcamp,” where new and existing business owners can learn from business
experts in seven sessions covering topics critical to business success
including strategic planning, financial management, marketing, and human
resources. The classes will be offered live via Zoom and then available
on-demand so busy business owners can design their own learning path.
Lindsay Davis
of Oregon State University said of the collaboration: “We see great value
in combining forces and resources to best support the rebound of Clatsop
County’s economy in this time of great need. By working in partnership
with Clatsop Community College’s SBDC, it will be a solid one-two punch of
University and Community College educational offerings for the community.”
Clatsop
Community College SBDC will receive $7500 in total in direct and indirect
support to fund the digital series that will be offered free to the public
through live streams and on-demand videos, starting July 14th.
Michael Murdoch
of Wauna Credit Union said “Building relationships with organizations like
the SBDC links directly to our vision and mission as a financial cooperative.
Moreover, the SBDC truly fosters our local economies, encouraging profits to
stay close to home and providing invaluable support to our neighborhoods and
communities.”
In
addition to the Boot Camp masterclasses, community members looking to hone
their leadership skills can participate in the Clatsop SBDC’s “Books &
Brews” Leadership Book Club. This
summer’s reading is Brene Brown’s Dare to Lead and will be facilitated
by Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce’s Executive Director, David Reid. The first meeting of the book club will be
July 15 and pre-registration is required.
Jessica
Newhall, Associate Director of the Clatsop SBDC said “Our mission is to help
our region’s small business community thrive. Wauna Credit Union and OSU
Extension’s support ensures all small business owners can access no-cost,
practical education designed to help them overcome challenges and be positioned
for success.”
Notable
speakers leading the boot camp include Seth Morrisey of Oregon Web Solutions,
Alyssa Logan of Fort George, Chelsea Morrisey of Morrisey Digital, and Sarah
Lambert of Riverview Bookkeeping.
