No formalities and no canned responses … just real information from those who have successfully navigated the process of launching and growing a business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panelists will discuss their backgrounds, successes and the challenges they’ve overcome and offer advice to fellow business owners, followed by a Q & A session.<\/p>\n
