PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Berkshire Enterprises begins its ninth year of Free Business Breakfast Forums with a program on Friday October 2nd from 7:30-9:00 AM. The forum entitled Both a Mentor and a Mentee Be will focus on the value provided by mentors in helping small businesses. The forum will be lead by Steve Fogel, Program Director of Berkshire Enterprises. It will be held in the Third Floor Board Room at One Fenn Street in Pittsfield.
Mentors help the small business owner succeed and at the same time mentors crystallize their own ideas and gain the satisfaction of helping others. The forum will focus on the experience that participants have had serving as mentors: who they mentor, what problems they faced, and how the relationship developed. The program will also focus on the experiences participants have had working with mentors: how they found mentors, what types of issues they sought help with, how the relationship benefitted them and their businesses.
Steve Fogel, Program Director of Berkshire Enterprises says, “There are a lot of people with a lot of experience to share with small business owners and a lot of small business owners who can benefit from finding the right mentor. We hope that the forum will help participants define what they need and what they have to offer.” The forum is appropriate for owners and managers of small businesses as well as those who have experiences they feel would be beneficial to small business owners.
This Forum marks the start of the ninth consecutive year of Free Business Breakfast Forums for small business owners. The Forums are made possible through the generous support from Greylock Federal Credit Union, Legacy Banks, Berkshire Bank, TD Banknorth, and the Pittsfield Cooperative Bank in space provided by CompuWorks. The forums include an active discussion of techniques that work and can be implemented easily. A light breakfast is included. Anyone who is interested in attending should register emailing Steve Fogel at sfogel@berkshireenterprises.com or by 413-236-2141. Space is limited and reservations are required.
Berkshire Enterprises is a program of the Office for Workforce Development at Berkshire Community College.
