Members and guests of the NAPW Orange County, NY Local Chapter gathered on February 21st for a professional networking meeting at Cosimos Brick Oven Pizza, 620 Route 211 East, Middletown.
The event was the Chapters official launch meeting and featured guest speaker Myriam Bouchard from the Small Business Development Center that serves the mid-Hudson region. The expert shared her smart strategies for small businesses with the group of professional women.
The launch meeting was originally planned for January but the snow kept everyone from getting together, said NAPW Orange County Local Chapter President Aleen Hosdaghian.
But our February meeting was a great launch that kick started the year and got the Orange County Chapter off to a great start!
The Chapter President opened the meeting with a welcoming introduction and an overview of NAPW. She discussed the goals of the Orange County Chapter, which is to Learn, Network, and Grow. She then turned the meeting over to the speaker, Myriam Bouchard.
Little did we know it was a jazz night at the restaurant! said the President. It added an interesting mix to our launch meeting to have a background jazz band however. With the smooth beats in the background, we learned about handling small businesses from Myriam.
Attendees nibbled on fresh brick oven pizza while listening to how to handle time in a world where people are constantly multitasking.
In her presentation Everything you Need to Know About Your Small Business, Myriam offered attendees a wealth of information, including providing small business resources such as Federal and New York State requirements for small businesses, Aleen said. She shared success stories with the group of professional women and distributed numerous printed materials that were filled with helpful information.
Myriam spoke about how to manage your accounting, and reviewed the Six Cs of Credit:
