Business for Breakfast
The State Journal and SCORE (Counselors to America’s Small Business) will host a Business for Breakfast on Friday, May 25 at 7:30 AM at the Charleston Marriott Town Center’s Whitewater Grille. The event will end at 8:30 AM.

Sean Nichols of ExecuTrain will discuss “Internet Security Made Easy.”

“Keeping your computers, your customers, and your internet activity secure is vital to your business,” said Nichols. “How do you stay secure in the rapidly changing environment? We'll review the key concerns and solutions to protect your site and your customers secure without spending thousands of dollars. “

“I keep hearing phrases like ‘fire walls’ and ‘unauthorized access’ and ‘secure site’,” said Kimberly Donahue of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC). “So this is the time and the place to get up to date on these concerns.”

There is no fee, although businesses are encouraged to purchase breakfast. Pre-registration would be appreciated but is optional. Those who wish to pre-register can do so on-line at
www.wvscore.org or e-mail SCORE at score256@wvscore.org.

“Business for Breakfast is a real-world learning opportunity,” said Charleston Area SCORE Chairman Paul Smart. “A healthy breakfast will improve but not interfere with your work day.”

”As an added incentive, we’ll be throwing in a free 6 month subscription to The State Journal for everyone there,” added Rebekah Hogue of the State Journal.
