BBRC Workshop Series: How Do I Get There From Here? Resources for Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs
Ask any small business owner and they'll tell you: whether you've been doing it for a short or long period of time, the struggle is very real. In this first workshop in BBRC’s new How Do I Get There From Here? Workshop Series we have experts from Coastal Enterprises Inc. (CEI) and the Small Business Administration (SBA), joining us to share the most common missteps and solutions they see when they meet with businesses. You’ll also hear from local business leader Allison Hopkins about the tools and programs she utilized through these two organizations to have success in growing her business.
All are welcome on Wednesday, October 18th from 10:00 to 11:30am at the BBRC office. The format will be presentations from our three guest speakers with lots of time dedicated to Q&A from those in the room. Pre-registration is required and is open on our website. We’ll have more details on specific topics next week, but honestly with the time devoted to Q&A you can bring forward any issue you are having, and we will do our best to give you a little direction and guidance.
Mark your calendars for October 18th!

Our chamber has a new name and logo! Above is the stacked version of our new logo, and below is our horizontal version.
We are so excited to become the Bath-Brunswick Regional Chamber.
There is a whole story of the re-branding process that you can read here, from our Executive Director Cory King.
Please note: In order to officially change our organization name and bank accounts, we must file the name change with the State of Maine with an updated set of bylaws and await approval- this is sitting with the State now anticipate it being finished soon. We also look forward to a brand-new website later this year! Until then know that we are the Bath-Brunswick Regional Chamber, but we will also be using the old name for legal purposes (and payments).
