The Upper Shore Regional Council (“USRC”), an economic development and planning entity for Kent, Queen Anne’s and Cecil Counties has been partnering with the Washington College GIS Department to further develop its Harvest Directory brochure and online mapping tools. The Directory is listing 127 agri-businesses across the region—a tool to assist with marketing their products and services.
On Thursday, March 6th 2014, from 10:00-noon, the Council will host social media expert, Mindie Burgoyne and invites agriculture-based businesses, and other small businesses to come out to learn how to use social media tools to greatly enhance their efforts to market their products and reach out to a broader customer base.
The workshop is followed by a networking session from noon until 1:00 p.m., which will offer businesses the opportunity to connect with experienced business resource representatives and with each other. The event will be held at Washington College in the Hyson Lounge (right across the walkway from the Miller Library). We invite all who own or have an interest in an agri-business, or other small business to attend.
The workshop is free of charge and light fare will be served. Please contact Doris Mason, Executive Director for the Upper Shore Regional Council or Luis Machado [email protected] with questions, or for more information.
