WEBINAR Crisis Management for Small Business
March 19 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Free
As the unprecedented events in Los Angeles in 2025 have shown us, crises can happen at any time. Although there are situations that are totally beyond the control of a small business owner, being prepared with a plan of action can go a long way in mitigating the financial and reputational damage that can occur when the unimaginable happens. This webinar offers a step-by-step guide to identifying potential crises, deciding in advance what to do if and when a crisis does occur and determining how best to implement a crisis management plan. This workshop is a “must” for every business owner.
