Description
BUSINESS X-CHANGE PRESENTATION – SEPTEMBER 15, 2021
Business X-Change meets regularly throughout the year. Our September X-Change will be held in person at the Portage County Business Council office. While we are excited for live events, for those that cannot travel we will also be offering this X-Change by Zoom.
