15 Attend Allendale Business Forum

(Worth County Economic Development) – The first of a series of Business Forums was held January 16th at the Allendale Community Hall.  There were 15 members of our community present.  Annette Weeks with Northwest Missouri Enterprise Facilitation described their program - a nonprofit organization that offers business coaching in northwest Missouri.  Their purpose is to promote economic and community revitalization by capturing the passion and interest of local entrepreneurs.  Annette meets one on one with current and prospective entrepreneurs to help them discuss and understand the needs to operate a successful business as well as help connect them to the needed resources.  Kim Mildward and Cory Crawford also presented information and hiring options for employers.  It was great information that offered opportunities to employ local folks at a reduced or no charge to the employer. 
Thanks to Allendale Community Betterment reps Vickie Miller, Peggy Miller, & Sharon Nonneman for providing such an awesome breakfast -- biscuits & gravy, eggs, potatoes, fruit cup, juice & coffee.  DEEELICIOUS!!
