ATDC Brown Bag

Stop wondering what’s next. Make a plan.
A Goal Setting and Action Plan Workshop
Presented by Ed Rieker, ATDC Entrepreneur-in-Residence

Wednesday, March 17th
10:00am to 1:00pm
ATDC Community Room 

Goals are the cornerstone to creating success and a critical tool that costs you nothing to acquire but everything if ignored. Participate in an intense, interactive workshop designed to help you formulate specific, measurable, written business and personal goals with an action plan to help you succeed. Participants will leave the workshop with written goals and an action plan.

Seating is very limited, so make a plan to attend.  This Brown Bag will be a little unlike the rest.  We're asking $10 for your commitment to come, participate, and we'll throw in lunch!  The goal setting workshop will run from 10am to 12pm, lunch will be served thereafter and you'll have the opportunity to ask Ed more questions and network with other attendees.  Please note: like all others, this Brown Bag is for MEMBERS ONLY.
