This is the first of six free monthly sessions designed to help you keep your business strong and healthy in this difficult economy.

The Mar. 19 session will focus on tracking the health of your business, identifying early warning signs so you can make course corrections, and learning things your banker wish you knew. The session also will allow local business people an opportunity to schedule free, confidential business wellness audits and provide access to other resources.

Presenters at the Mar. 19 session will include:

Sessions in this series are planned for the third Thursday of every month through August, 2009.  March 19 attendees will help set future session topics, which may include:
