2023 Economic Outlook & Business Workshop

Is your business recession ready? With economic uncertainty on the horizon, it’s important to ensure your business is prepared. While economic slowdowns can have a dire effect on business, they provide some of the best opportunities for growth. We have invited Brent Oetken, who will provide us with a special workshop, “Six Keys to Recession Proofing Your Business” which will help you evaluate your company’s health, show you how to strengthen your business, and equip you with simple tools you can use the right way.** We are also excited to welcome back Economist Steve Scranton from Washington Trust Bank, with an economic update, both locally and nationally. 

** The first 100 attendees to register in person at any location, will receive a FREE copy of Brent’s workbook with tools that participants can work on during Brent’s presentation, and use after the the workshop as well. Workbooks are not required, but are an add-on to the presentation and great takeaway.
