NEOEDD Presents: "Alpine" Business Retreat

Annie Milroy of Birds Eye Business Planning and Consulting is coming to NE Oregon for a three-day intensive workshop retreat for business owners called "Alpine".  The retreat is recommended for individuals who feel like their business has overwhelmed them and begun to run them instead of vise versa; have a new idea and wonder how to fit it into the larger business; feel they are at a crossroad and wonder whether to scale up or scale back; know they could benefit from support of peers and hearing how they have handled the same issues you face. 

The three-day retreat provides an opportunity to assess how your business ahs been going up to this point, while also developing a vision for the future.  This process offered within a peer-to-peer learning environment, will reconnect you to the "why" of your venture and help create in-roads to meeting short and long term goals. NEOEDD staff will be in attendance to learn from her as well.

Sessions begin on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. and continue with several breaks and meals until 9 p.m. Various housing and meal packages are available. Costs are from $235 for full lodging and meals to just $55 for commuters. Contact NEOEDD for further details.

The cost of the training is subsidized by a Community Development Block Grant, which requires NEOEDD to confirm that a majority of the attendees have a low-to-moderate income. All registrants will be required to complete a registration form and disclose household income. If NEOEDD already has this information, participants won’t be required to submit it again.

Registration deadline is Wednesday, April 19. Our cutoff date for reserving rooms and arranging for meals is April 19. We will not be able to accommodate requests to participate after that date. Requests for refunds made by April 19 will be honored minus a 3 percent processing fee for payments made electronically.
