The
American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) along with the Georgetown University
McDonough School of Business Global
Social Enterprise Initiative has announced a free online business training
webinars for rural entrepreneurs and Farm Bureau members, according to an AFBF
statement.
“Finding and Using Business Information” will be presented
on Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern. Featured presenters include Jessica
Nelson, general manager at the National Center for Economic Gardening, and
Steve Radley, president and CEO of the Kansas Center for Entrepreneurship (DBA
NetWork Kansas).
“We’re pleased to present the second installment of the
webinar series, which was developed to meet the needs of our members who are
already involved in rural entrepreneurship enterprises as well as those
preparing to launch a business in their local communities,” said Dr. Lisa
Benson, AFBF’s director of rural development. “This webinar will help guide
rural entrepreneurs in researching market opportunities for starting or
innovating in their businesses,” she added.
At the end of July, an orientation workshop “kicked off” the
webinar series with featured presenter Dan Durheim, AFBF’s director of industry
affairs, giving a comprehensive overview of the national Rural Entrepreneurship
Initiative. The webinar is available here.
Farm Bureau members and other interested parties are
encouraged to RSVP here.
