Women in business can stay motivated by learning from and sharing strategies with others at a Women in Business virtual seminar held this June titled “Staying Upbeat and Focused.”

The seminar will be held noon-1 p.m. Tuesday, June 9. The seminar fee is free, but registration is required. To register, visit bit.ly/StayUpbeat. Registrants will receive Zoom link information and log in via email prior to the seminar. Although the event is focused on women, anyone may attend.

“This will be an opportunity for women in business to share and learn from others about what has been keeping them motivated and uplifted during these challenging times,” says Karen Leatherman, business development specialist at Missouri S&T Small Business Development Center (SBDC). “Although this event will be virtual, people will have an opportunity to get inspired, connect with others and see some friendly faces they haven’t seen in a while.”

The seminar is hosted by the SBDC at Missouri S&T, Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Women in Business group. Women in Business provides women with access to learning, networking and professional growth opportunities.
