About the Growing Together Series
Building on the success of the Growing Together 2013 series, economic and business development organizations are once again partnering with public and private firms in the Central Shenandoah Valley to present the 2nd Annual Growing Together series.
Designed to strengthen the region’s economic vitality through informational and technical assistance, this year’s 4-part workshop series will be held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, August through November. The Augusta County Government Center location in Verona has been selected for its central accessibility to owners and managers of existing businesses located throughout the Valley.
These seminars are free to all attendees thanks to the generous support of sponsoring organizations. All will run from 8:15–11:30am, and will include keynote presentations + panels of practitioners + Q&A. You may attend one or all four sessions; pre-registration will ensure a seat.
