For over a decade, the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Jamestown Community College has hosted the Women in Networking Chautauqua program on the second Thursday of every month.

The program is for female business owners and women working in the business sector. While this event usually takes place in person, during the COVID-19 pandemic, women are meeting via zoom to exchange ideas, experiences, and address challenging issues.

Each person briefly shares their latest business news and then participates in a learning opportunity with a presentation on a topic of interest. The SBDC has helped to build business relationships that benefit women throughout the region.

To make a reservation or for more information on this monthly program, contact the SBDC at 338-1024. The next Women in Networking program will take place Thursday, Nov. 12, at noon. The presentation will focus on financial accounts and keeping things separated for successful business purposes. The speaker is Shannon Greenland of Green Sprout Consulting. She handles bookkeeping, financial management, payroll, HR, and marketing with a focus on construction and restaurant businesses.
