Chamber members and community partners alike are able to interact with weekly video posts featuring local business leaders who will share business building tips and insights. Along with the videos, we are partnering with Origin Bank to bring five podcasts during the month. These podcasts will feature local business owners and professional advice from the College of Business at Louisiana Tech University.
In addition to the podcasts, Coretechs will be hosting a Cyber Threats and Legal Liabilities Luncheon on Thursday, April 24 for members and community partners. With featured speaker, Sarah Anderson, cyber security attorney and SWA Law, this luncheon is geared towards business owners and decision makers. To learn more about Anderson, click here.
