“Now that people are becoming more comfortable in getting out and about, small business owners need to communicate what goods and services they offer,” said Jessica Campos, Center for Rural Affairs’ Women’s Business Center director. “So, our social media workshops this month primarily focus on getting the word out and driving customers into your small business."

Advanced registration is required for each event; sign up at cfra.org/events.
