Join us for our Business Blueprint: Foundations for Small Business Success series
Operations & Growth: Hiring, Training & Retaining Great Employees
August 27th from 11:30 – 1:00 PM at Cooperative Energy Conference Center
Building a great team is one of the biggest challenges and greatest opportunities for any business. Join us for the next Business Blueprint as we explore practical strategies for hiring, developing, and retaining exceptional employees.
This interactive panel discussion will feature Jeff Bowman, Crystal Crawford, and Tori Hankins of Cooperative Energy, who will share the leadership philosophies, hiring practices, and lessons they’ve learned while building a strong workplace culture. Rather than focusing solely on what works for large organizations, the conversation will explore the principles behind their success and practical ideas that entrepreneurs and small business owners can adapt to businesses of any size.
Designed to be conversational rather than presentation-based, Business Blueprint encourages attendees to ask questions, share experiences, and engage directly with the panelists. Whether you’re hiring your first employee or leading a growing team, you’ll leave with actionable strategies and fresh ideas to help strengthen your business.
Come ready to learn, ask questions, and connect with fellow business owners as we discuss one of the most important investments any business can make: its people.
