Wyoming Chambers offer free 12-week webinar

Chamber staff and business owners from across Wyoming are invited to join an informational webinar with Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses! You will even be able to hear from a couple of business owners who are currently going through the program in Montana.

According to Wyoming State Chamber of Commerce’s (WYCC) Heidi Peterson “The program is a free, 12-week business program designed to help you grow your business. The program has been around for 15 years, and two years ago, Goldman Sachs decided to invest even more money into the all-expenses-paid program to reach rural, small businesses. We are excited that Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses is recruiting for a special cohort engaging Wyoming small business owners” 

Both the Lovell Area and Basin Area Chambers are members of the WYCC. They are excited for this opportunity for small businesses in this area. 

Linda Morrison, Director of the Lovell Chamber, said that anything the chambers can do to help small business is a win/win. 

Robin Allen, Basin Chamber Board Secretary and small business owner at Road 10 T shirts and Toolman Rentals/Sales agrees. 

“We value our Basin chamber membership as it has provided us opportunities and helped us grow both our businesses,” she said.
