In July, a Guilford/vernon Business Breakfasts was held in collaboration with the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC), a private, nonprofit economic development organization. A theme that emerged was that that small businesses in our towns could use practical support to start and grow their businesses.
In response to that feedback the BDCC is introducing the BDCC BizConnect Series to connect rural businesspeople with networking opportunities and peer support. This free new monthly meetup series is designed to bring together rural business people to foster connections, build community, and solve commonly faced problems.
The first event for this new group will be held at the new Bizitown Workspace co-working space in the DeWitt Block building on Flat Street in Brattleboro, Vermont. Future events will be held in communities across the region as well as in Brattleboro.
The Brattleboro kickoff event is from 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM on Wednesday, July 31, hosted in partnership with the Brattleboro Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Brattleboro DBA, will feature introductory remarks from BDCC's Executive Director Adam Grinold, along with Guest Speaker Christophe Gagné, former President and Brewmaster of Hermit Thrush Brewery, followed by a Q&A.
Refreshments will be provided.
The meetup is free, but registration is required. Attendees may sign up at http://brattleborodevelopment.com/bizconnect/.
