An announcement from BPW Member Janice Hand and Bozeman SCORE Chapter 263:

Bryan Hall and Matt Brownlow from First West Insurance will present a free seminar on Business Insurance at the Bozeman Public Library, on Oct. 10th from Noon-1pm.

You may know that you need liability coverage, but should your small business have Business Perpetuation/Buy-Sell coverage? Crime coverage? Cyber Risk coverage? Key Man insurance? Led by two insurance professionals, this seminar will help you understand which coverage you need… and which you may not.

An announcement from Women’s Foundation of Montana:

Are you a small business owner or human resource professional? Would you join us for a focus group and conversation with your peers at the RSVP Motel, Friday, October 4th?

The Women’s Foundation of Montana is doing new research with the University of Montana for the State of Montana. We are doing a series of focus groups around the state with small business owners and human resource professionals to learn about their experiences first-hand recruiting and keeping quality employees in the current tight labor market, through increased workforce engagement and strategic compensation practices. This is an opportunity for business owners and managers to learn from each other, while providing vital insights for the state on the best ways to support and grow both businesses and economic opportunities.

Would you join us for a focus group at the RSVP Motel, Friday, October 4th at 4:00 pm? We estimate the group will not take more than 90 minutes. Food and drink will be provided. Each participant will receive a $15 gift card as a thank you for their participation. Your participation will be anonymous. 

A report will be published with our findings early next year and will be shared with the Governor, stakeholders and participants (like you!), as well as the public.

RSVP to Jen Euell at jeneuell@mtcf.org by 5pm, Monday, October 1st, to join us. And feel free to share this opportunity with friends.

Thank you!

Best,
