Recruiting Participants for National Project – "Home-based Businesses: Resources, Challenges, and Factors Influencing Success"
MATR Sponsor (view all)
Do you work with home-based businesses, for example providing training or consulting services related to business or financial planning, marketing, or customer service?
We are excited to announce a web-discussion on "Home-based Businesses: Resources, Challenges, and Factors Influencing Success". Your experiences and perspective will provide valuable information as we assess different approaches to help communities identify local industries with strong opportunities and better support those businesses.
Because the webinar will be structured as a discussion, you will learn about what your colleagues nationally are doing and we will share some of the latest statistics and research on local factors that contribute to business success. We hope to learn from your experiences and share that information with others.
Please let us know if you are interested in joining us for this exciting opportunity. Because we desire a two-way exchange, space is limited. Once we hear from everyone, you will receive a confirmation on the date and time of your scheduled webinar.
If you are interested in volunteering to participate, please reply to Dr. Craig Carpenter ([email protected]) with the following information by November 27, 2017.
We will select among the common availability to place you into a focus group.
