Laura on SBDC Women in Business Roundtable

I attended the Small Business Development Center Women in Business Roundtable today and it was great. Deanna Maio from Savvy Gals spoke about "Managing Multiple Priorites." It was a great source of information and a good way to meet other female business owners in East County.

The roundtables are free and held once a month. Contact them about future events.
