Thank you to everyone who joined us for today’s “Lunch & Learn” seminar! We appreciate those of you who attended, asked questions, & were excited to learn more about the resources available to help businesses grow & succeed. We especially want to thank our three knowledgeable presenters; Faith Richie, Robert Owens, & Darin Gehrke, for sharing their time & valuable information on the Advantage Illinois Loan Program, SBA loans, & DCEO grant opportunities. At JREDC, we’re proud to help connect our local business community with the tools, resources, & opportunities that support continued economic growth!
