Entrepreneurs are the essence of economic development. Without them, Charles County wouldn't be home to new industries or budding small businesses that bring vibrancy and character to our community.
“Promoting economic development through business innovation can have a substantial impact on economic growth,” said Lucretia Freeman-Buster, chief of business development at Charles County Economic Development. “Now is the time to accelerate our local economic growth through entrepreneurship.”
The Fall Meeting will emphasize entrepreneurship's importance with an entire panel discussion about its future in Charles County. Attendees will learn what it takes to succeed in Charles County’s small business market and understand the pitfalls of entrepreneurship and how to avoid them.
In today’s competitive business environment, small business owners face a multitude of challenges. They may have limited access to capital and cash flow management, or perhaps struggle to maintain a powerhouse workforce, or else they may face some other uncertainties surrounding an economic crisis. Our
industry experts will address these topics and more during their discussion.
