Independent and Small Business Owner

Are you a small business owner or thinking about starting your own business? Has the last year made you question how to keep your business moving or wondering if this is a good time to get started on your next journey of starting a small business? Consider joining MPI's Independent and Small Business Owners (ISBO) online community.   This community exists for freelance and independent meeting planners, entrepreneurs, and small business owners to exchange ideas and share information with peers. The ISBO community has three communities: Education, Community Engagement and Long-Range Planning.

The Community Engagement Committee is offering monthly CommuniTEAS for Independent Small Business Owners. . These are very casual online meet-ups that have been designed for the small business owner or potential business owner by the engagement committee to connect the community, listen to each other's questions, share knowledge, and build a support structure. The next two CommuniTEAS are:

• Feb 23, 2021 at 10:00am MST
• March 30, at 10:00am MST
