Each month NLE Media Productions and Hannah Bea’s Poundcake & More donate their time and effort to bring our community “The Small Business Forum”. These events are videotaped and provided in streaming form from the Internet at no cost to you. All of our speakers donate their time and treasure to the forum community free of charge.
Our topic for the April 2007 forum was “Basic Employment Requirements“, a subject every small business owner needs to know and understand in order to prevent legal hassles with employees, IRS and state regulators. Anne E. Denecke from the firm of Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP was our keynote speaker. You can read her bio at: Http://nlemedia.com/AnneDenecke.pdf . A PDF outline of her presentation is available for download at: http://nlemedia.com/BER.pdf. Since this topic is so important, and Anne’s presentation covered so much information, we are splitting this into 2 different posts. This post will present some of the Q&A that were covered. Next post will have the main presentation. View the Q&A portion at: http://nlemedia.com/Anne.wmv
The Small Business Forum also exists to showcase emerging buinesses. Lisa Arveneaux, a newly published author, shared her vision and mission. Her video can be seen at: http://nlemedia.com/Lisa.wmv. Lisa will be having her first book signing at The Talking Drum Book Store located at MLK Jr. Blvd & N.E. Killingsworth on Thursday, June 23rd.
That’s it for this post. For those of you who have not joined us for one of these forums, why not? It’s free and the knowledge that is shared is better than anything you could get in the classroom. Why? Because real business owners talk about the “real” issues and needs all small businesses have in common. You may be missing a solution to a problem that has plagued your business. Join us to share, uplift and network with “real” people.
