CVSBDC Update
The Coachella Valley Small Business Development Center, which joined CVEP in January of this year, continues to be a great success. All 2012 goals have been met and we are on track to exceed those goals by 50% by year end. This past week the CVSBDC hosted its monthly "Fireside Chat" which consistently has great attendance for these informative sessions. This past Wednesday's chat was a timely subject "Time Out from Stressing Out: Managing Stress for the Busy Life" and featured a prominent lineup of panelists including Dr. Chris Flores of Eisenhower Medical Center, Beth Mulligan, PA-C of both UCI Medical Center and Eisenhower Medical Center and Holly Nelson-Lassak of Massage Envy. As a service to the Coachella Valley business owners, we are very proud of the fact that we are providing valuable education resources on a monthly basis.
