Reference Meeting Minutes - 4/8/14

The meeting began with a presentation by Karen Bitterle of the Michigan Small Business Development Center at Schoolcraft College on resources that they have available to assist both startups and established businesses.  In brief, we can refer patrons to them for free one-on-one counseling, low-cost education and training, and market research.  Small businesses are defined as < $5 million.  Karen can be reached at 734-462-4438 or kbitterle@schoolcraft.edu
