To continue their efforts\, the HBA will now act as an association/council/hub of sorts\, even if you are NOT a current member of our association. \n\n\n\nOur goal is to continue discovering ways we can create win-win opportunities for the entire skilled trades community. One of these ways will be to offer educational sessions and/or networking meetings\, every other month on the last Thursday morning (8:30am-10am)\, throughout the year. Our next meeting is scheduled for THURSDAY\, February 27th at 8:30am at the HBA office located at 5700 W. Michigan Ave\, Kalamazoo\, MI 49009. \n\n\n\nFor this week's meeting we have decided to offer an educational webinar\, Managing Business Growth for Profitability and Sanity. Managing a growing business can take business owners in the construction industry to the very limits of their personal\, emotional\, and financial resources and beyond. That's when a business often takes on a life of its own and spirals out of control frequently taking business owners on a crash course with it. The good news is there are sound and proven systems and strategies that can be learned and implemented to take back control and\, ultimately\, reap the rewards that owners want and deserve in exchange for their risk and hard work. The real challenge lies in knowing your enemy\, facing the facts and taking disciplined action.\n\n\n\nAGENDA\n\n Welcome & Introductions\n Brief Recap\n Webinar X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:The City of Kalamazoo started monthly lunch meetings to connect minority contractors and tradesman in Kalamazoo with several community development partners\, large developers\, and other business and trade resources about a year ago.
