How did he make it happen?
Bob Jacquart will lead the first installment of the Upper Peninsula Entrepreneur Series under the Small Business Support Hub program, presented by Headwaters North in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
The free event will be held in two locations:
- Monday, April 8 at 5:30 p.m. in the Lake Superior Room in the student center at LSSU
- Tuesday, April 9 at 8:30 a.m. in the EDC Office, Suite B, 14150 County Rd. 428, Newberry
Meals will be provided at both.
Jacquart’s discussion will center around the importance of CEO roundtables to share best business practices and talk through business challenges, Headwaters North (formerly the Sault Ste. Marie Economic Development Corp.) said in a news release.
"These roundtables create opportunities for CEOs to strengthen their decision-making processes, bolster communication skills, and build business relationships," organizers said.
In addition to CEO roundtables, the discussion will outline opportunities in the use of fractional CFO and COO roles – something Jacquart used in his own business to grow at a pace comfortable to the operation.
It's an approach that provides businesses with access to chief financial officers and chief operating officers without the full-time position, hours, benefits and salary associated with the roles.
