The City of Covington and the Covington City Council Economic Development Committee held their third Covington Business Resource Workshop on Tuesday, October 22, 2013. The programs are geared toward providing local business owners the tools and expertise they need to help their business thrive, and to give potential business owners the resources they need to begin a successful new enterprise. This workshop, entitled ‘Tis the Season for Your Business, focused on business growth and marketing techniques that will help local businesses close out the year with great success, and continue to grow in the years to come. The program was very well received by over 50 attendees. Presenters at the workshop included Jim Shea and Beth Alston with Northshore SCORE, Scott Uffman, Business Consultant for LSBDC Southeastern, and Dian Lusher of Dynel Inc.
“Our 3rd Covington Business Workshop, ‘Tis the Season for Your Business, was informative for our business community and will help our businesses end this year on a successful note,” Larry Rolling, Covington City Councilman – District D and Chairman of the Council’s Economic Development Committee.
The Covington Business Workshop series recently received a Community Achievement Award, placing first in the Economic Development category from the Louisiana Municipal Association. “We are so proud of the tremendous acclaim these workshops have gained, both from our local community and from our municipal leaders statewide,” Councilman Larry Rolling. These events are free and open to the public. The next business workshop will be held in early 2014.
