Brooklyn's Progress
January 2004

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Seminar Committee (SBSC), co-chaired by Susan Doban, Susan Doban Architects and Darryl Hollon, ConEdison, is inviting Chamber Members to get involved as presenters and show their expertise to fellow Chamber Members.  The SBSC is seeking proposals for seminars to be conducted during 2004.  The goal of the recently formed SBSC is to provide seminars that will meet the needs of the Chamber’s small business Members.

Currently, the SBSC is seeking proposals from highly qualified presenters to address the following topics:

• effective networking techniques and strategies,
• how to maximize professional strengths and minimize weaknesses,
• affordable ways to use technology to make a business profitable,
• time management for small businesses, and
• other unique, informative, useful and timely topics not previously addressed at Chamber seminars.

The Committee’s screening process for presenters will include a written proposal, an in-person interview, a 5-10-minute sample presentation, and the availability of the presenter on the available seminar dates.  All proposals submitted prior to Feb. 27, 2004, will be reviewed by the Committee--a limited number will be selected for screening interviews.
