The Berkshire Chamber has enlisted the help of experts in the region to provide 60-minute sessions on topics including communication, financial planning, marketing, management, and the use of social media.
The next in this series will be held on Wednesday, May 13th with “NET”working: Building Your Business Through Social Media presented by Christina Barrett, Director of Marketing & Communications at the Berkshire Chamber of Commerce.
