SCORE Business Workshop: Giving Back is GOOD for Business

Supporting the local community is not only the right thing to do, it’s also a savvy business move. According to Fortune, giving back by donating money to local non-profits, allowing employees to volunteer on work time, and otherwise operating with a spirit of generosity is correlated with higher rates of employee retention and satisfaction. In this session, the three panelists will discuss the importance of giving back to the community as part of a successful business model. Panelists are John Horne, owner of Anna Maria Oyster Bar and winner of National Restaurant Association Good Neighbor Award; Jacki Dezelski, president of Manatee Chamber of Commerce; and Trudy Moon, owner of Air & Energy.
