LEARN HOW TO CERTIFY YOUR BUSINESS
Would you like to learn how to get your business certified as women- or minority-owned so you can compete for government contracts?
Members of the Rochester Hispanic Business Association are invited to “Learn to Soar 3.0,” a free seminar and networking event for small business owners on Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2017.
The Greater Rochester Chapter of SCORE is offering this event, which begins at 8:15 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. at Monroe Golf Club, 155 Golf Ave., Pittsford.
