Business to Business Resources
Business owners become a resource to other business owners through education via partnerships and local chambers of commerce.
Sustainability does not just pertain to the environment. In the business world it also relates to making choices that position the business for growth and longevity. Some strategies include best practices, reducing risk and balancing personal needs with the demands of every day business management.
Business owners who want to find ways to get more return for the effort they expend can take advantage of the free Tuesday classes and low cost monthly Chamber luncheons that Shoreline has to offer.
Shoreline has an active partnership between the City of Shoreline, Shoreline Community College and the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce. Through this partnership business owners can attend free classes every Tuesday at City Hall. The Shoreline Chamber of Commerce also hosts guest speakers at their monthly luncheons. The $20 cost includes the catered lunch and non-members can attend up to two events without joining.)
