Hosted by LCRPC’s Economic and Community Development Planner, Alex Zipparo, this event will kick off the Business Booster Series, which will offer periodic workshops with business support service providers who are available to serve all types of businesses in Lincoln County. All are welcome to attend, especially Lincoln County based businesses.

Panelists include Marissa Henkel from APEX, Raynor Large from CEI, Jenn Dobransky from SBDC, Emily Braley from MTI, Alicia LaFosse from New Ventures, and Dan Reed from SCORE Maine.
