Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce continues sponsorship of LinkedIn expert for three-part LinkedIn series for regional businesses
Brookfield, Wis., March 23, 2015 – The Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) presents the second of the three-part “Using LinkedIn to Build Your Business and Your Brand,” series on understanding LinkedIn concepts for your business, on Wednesday, April 8, 2015. The session runs from 7:30am to 9:30am.
The remaining sessions of the series have been moved to Ottawa University because of the significant number of business owners who have registered for the series. Ottawa University is located at 245 S. Executive Drive, Suite 110, Brookfield, Wis. Registration is 7:15-7:30am with the LinkedIn program starting promptly at 7:30 a.m.
Sue Gresham, LinkedIn expert and owner of Innovative Client Solutions (ICS), is the presenter for all sessions. Pricing per session is $29 for GBCC members and $49 for nonmembers. Registration is at http://business.brookfieldchamber.com/events/details/using-linkedin-to-build-your-business-the-basics-982
Carol White, President & CEO of GBCC said, “Attendance at the first session was so big that we’ve had to move to a larger venue, and we thank Ottawa University for stepping up to accommodate our educational program. LinkedIn has become an everyday word for people in the business world. GBCC is an organization centered on helping our member businesses work smarter, so this series is the perfect fit.”
“Many people have dabbled in LinkedIn, throwing together a profile, so they are at least at the table, but it is so much more than that – and this series is geared to help wherever you are on that spectrum. And, as always, there is the opportunity to meet other business people that are engaged,” continued White.
