Starting a business can feel exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between. This roundtable is designed specifically for entrepreneurs who are just getting started or are in their first few years of business and want real, practical guidance.

Participants will learn the ins and outs of running a business, including what’s working, common challenges to expect, available resources, and where to find potential grants or financial assistance. The goal is to provide honest insight, helpful tools, and a supportive space for questions and conversation.

This session will be led by Courtney Yockey, President of the Effingham Regional Growth Alliance, a seasoned professional in the world of economic development who works closely with businesses across our region. Courtney brings valuable experience and a deep understanding of the resources available to help local businesses grow and succeed.
