We had quite a month! Every year, the Nevada SBDC team travels from across the state for team building, professional development, and goal setting. Boulder City was our host this year, and it didnt disappoint! Our advisors were also busy attending various local events and conferences, including the ACDC Lantern Festival, visiting with Sen. Jacky Rosens team, meeting with Nevada Governors Office of Economic Development - GOED, and other community outreach. Thanks to all of our gracious hosts and partners for a wonderful October of small business development! #smallbusiness #nevada #economicdevelopment #supportsmallbusinessImage attachmentImage attachment+6Image attachment
