The local economy is a concern in every city, town and village through out the nation because our economy, no matter where we reside, is local.

Everyone is talking about the economy. In Calvert County we do more than talk, we take action.

The Southern Region Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is hosting a workshop, at no cost, to local area business owners. The "Sustaining Profit and Position in a Changing Economy" workshop will be held this Thursday (October 23) at the Prince Frederick Holiday Inn Express from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

The workshop is being sponsored by the SBDC and the Calvert County Department of Economic Development. The focus of the workshop is local retail and restaurant businesses and how they can meet the challenges they are facing in the current economic marketplace

Topics will include:
~ Recapturing the market share when discretionary income is declining
~ Re-examining business priorities and best practices
~ Reassessing opportunities focusing on financial and operational issues
~ Revitalizing sales and services

If you are a local business owner in the South Maryland area, I would encourage you to participate in this free and important workshop. If you are thinking of opening a business this workshop should definitely be on your appointment calendar.

As an aside, remember that, Famous Amos became famous in a very severe recession. Calvert County 's local businesses can become "famous", leading the nation, with good business practices and sound business principals which will translate into a very sound local economy.
