Free Business Resource Seminar and Expo comes to Ventura Nov. 9

Strategies for success in today’s economy will be one of the featured topics at a free business resource seminar and expo at the Ventura College Wright Event Center on Wednesday, November 9. The seminar will highlight a variety of approaches and techniques that can help local businesses position themselves for success, capitalize on billions of dollars in tax credits, and minimize the frustration of taxation. Jerome E. Horton, Member, Third District, California State Board of Equalization (BOE) will host the event, and Ventura County Assessor Dan Goodwin and Ventura Mayor Erik Nasarenko will also be present.
