Join us October monthly meeting entitled, "Are You Certiable?" next Tuesday, Oct. 19th, to get pertinent and detailed information on certification from the experts themselves.  Then for the next several months, we will embark upon our journey to certification - together.  From getting our financials in order next month, to recovering from the pitfalls - WBO will lead the charge to get all of us certified and poised for business growth!  Whether your business is certified or not, or even if you are not even interested in certification; everyone will benefit from this season's guests and programs! Business trends are indicating that certfication will soon be required to secure most any work. 

       So, are you ready to get certified?  There is strength (and support!) in numbers!  Let's accomplish this together!   Our special guests include:

Are your business financials in order?  Do you know what's needed to prepare for certification?  For most, the answer is no!  WBO is bringing in the experets to provide the education to help change that!  Join us at our November meeting to get our finances straight; maintain them and be prepared for certification and beyond.  This for many is the hardest part of the process and we want to help simplify it.
