LUNCH & LEARNS HELP SMALL BUSINESSES

Lunch & Learn events by the Chippewa Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) are created to assist our existing businesses by providing releveant topics that will help them solve issues and grow. On March 23rd, a vibrant crowd gathered at the heart of downtown Chippewa Falls, specifically at the charming Wild Flour Bakery, to partake in an engaging session on “Affordable Internet for All” presented by United Way. The event marked the first of many enlightening sessions planned for the year ahead.

The new Pillar Bank will be the host location of our 2nd Lunch & Learn event with Mike Kreiling and Mike Dieter as presenters. Blue Marble Pub will provide lunch for the attendees while the duo present on employee retention and engagement. Keeping the session sizes smaller creates for a more interactive environment and makes way for an enriching experience.
