Chamber to Hold Business Workshops This Winter

Following surveys of businesses across town, the NK Chamber of Commerce is holding a series of workshops to focus on five key areas.

The following is a press release from the North Kingstown Chamber of Commerce.

In October 2012, the North Kingstown Chamber of Commerce issued a five question survey that supplied a bounty of information.  The top five concerns of businesses which responded were:

  1. Taxes and town regulations
  2. Networking with other businesses
  3. Marketing of their business
  4. Business development
  5. North Kingstown economic development

The Chamber of Commerce is responding to your concerns by holding two networking events per month and by developing a professional development/business development seminar series.
