Small Business Conference -- Save the date

Join us for our 2nd Annual educational conference for Small Business!

Dream the Work: Work the Dream with The Strategic Small Business Initiative (www.thessbi.com)

There are more small businesses in the state of Michigan than ever before and we all are dreaming and praying that we'll be a success. One way to accomplish that is to learn, network and grow. Save the date for the second annual SSBI Small Business Conference, and you'll be well on your way.

This year's annual conference is expected to be a quick sell-out due to the limited number of conference registrations available. The conference registration, list of speakers and agenda will be released the first of March, (we'll send you the registration info soon) but if you really want to attend this year's conference I suggest doing the two following items ASAP:

* Save the dates on your calendar
* Let others know that this great event is coming.

We look forward to helping you take your business to the next stage in it's growth!
