A series of five Business Solution breakfast meetings will be held at Kansas City Kansas Community College this fall to help further economic expansion in Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties.
The kickoff breakfast will be held at KCKCC’s Leavenworth Center Tuesday, Sept. 18, with the final four sessions to be held on the main campus starting Thursday, Sept. 20.
Held from 7:30-9 a.m., the cost is $10 including breakfasts or $30 for persons pre-registering for the four meetings on the main campus.
“The series will allow area entrepreneurs and businesses to collaborate, learn and grow,” says Jay Matlack, Workforce Development Coordinator at KCKCC. “We’ll have two or three experts presenting on each of the topics at each of the breakfast sessions.”
The focus for the opening breakfast at the Leavenworth Center at 225 Cherokee on Sept. 18 will be on the way businesses can operate in a more environmentally friendly way while saving money.
