SUMMARY:WE Forum - Designing a Business: Adapting to Change
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\n*The Zoom link will come in the Order Confirmation email from Eventbrite\, at the bottom of the email in the Additional Information section.\n\n\n\nFeatured Speakers:\n\nAmanda Leightner\, Director of Communications\, Collider\n\nChristine Beech\, Executive Director of the Kabara Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies\, St. Mary's University - Rochester\n\n \nEvery business needs to design a path and create a strategy. What does that look like for your business? How do you think through the perceived value you provide for customers? What does it take to deliver on that value? Should you partner with other businesses?\n\nThis month's panel will focus on what it takes to design a business and how to pivot or persevere. Amanda and Christine will use the Business Model Canvas as a venue for considering the components of a business strategy. They will discuss ways to use the Canvas as a guide to evaluate your own business and design a model that works for you.\n\n \n\n\nCheck out the WE Forum Facebook page HERE for more events and opportunities.\n\n\n\nWhat is the WE Forum?\n\nThe Women Entrepreneurs (WE) Forum was launched in 2019 to provide free educational programming for women who are running a business\, as well as those who are seeking to start a business. The idea started as a partnership between Saint Mary's University and the Rochester Area Economic Development Inc. (RAEDI). In 2020\, the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce joined as a partner\, and in 2021\, the Collider Foundation and SCORE have also joined the partnership. This partnership is indicative of the desire and commitment of all these organizations to support new business start ups and ensure they have the right training and networks to succeed.\n\n\n\nWhat Happens at our Events?\n\nEach month we hear from speakers who have deep experience in the topic to be discussed. There is lots of room for questions from the attendees to ensure the discussion is relevant\, informed by experience\, and addresses the real questions women have when running a business.\n\n\n\nWhy Join Us?\n\nThese events have proven to be valuable networking and learning events for women business owners. It is a chance to hear from those who have faced the same challenges and hear how they navigated those challenges to become successful entrepreneurs. Join other Rochester area women who are passionate about their ideas and their business. You may find your next client or business partner!
