The Athens Area Chamber Coffee & Conversations series provides a space for Chamber members to network and discuss issues important to our businesses and community. The topic of our second Coffee & Conversations in 2023 will be Financial Intelligence.
Financial Intelligence:
What to know when you can’t know everything!
Join the Athens Area Chamber on Wednesday, July 19th, between 8:00 and 9:30am to network and discuss the important topic of Financial Intelligence. A panel comprised of representatives from Athens County Economic Development Council, Appalachian Center for Economic Networks (ACEnet), and The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Ohio University will cover important financial advice, especially for business owners, contractors, and entrepreneurs.
The morning will feature some treats for attendees, including coffee and tea, sponsored by Ohio Means Jobs – Athens County, and thanks to sponsorship from Bagel Street Deli, there will also be a bagel bar for attendees to enjoy while networking and listening to our speakers!
