These webinars are geared toward promoting opportunities that can ensure social, environmental, and economic business survival during and post COVID-19. Topics include:

I. May 15th, 10:00 a.m. – Intro to Digital Marketing

II. May 19th, 10:00 a.m. – Reengineering your business model to meet new market demands
