Would you benefit from building a three-year strategic business plan? Does networking with other business owners in a supportive environment sound like it would be good for your company? Could you benefit from a free, six-month mini-MBA course? Will you be able to attend classes in Manhattan or Yonkers?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then SBA wants you to apply for its 2017, Manhattan/Yonkers Emerging Leaders Program. (Learn more by visiting the SBA Emerging Leaders website).
