The St. Croix Small Business Clinic on May 19 exceeded our expectations in so many ways beyond the fantastic attendance numbers! The combined experience of excellent speakers all day in the big room, 1-to-1 private consults running all day in breakouts, and resource partners being present – wow!
Working with OBE made planning and prep very easy and smooth; the willingness of UW-River Falls leadership to support and engage plus our local entrepreneurial ecosystem (alternative lenders, incubator, grant partners, EDCs, workforce groups, and more) that set up information tables at the event really topped it off. As I said in my opening remarks at the event, “It takes a village to have a successful business – and your village is in this room today!” – Katherine Fossler, Center Director – UW-River Falls SBDC.
