3 <br />program takes place the first Tuesday of the month, traditionally in the <br />morning. This hour and a half long seminar is focused on educational <br />topics that are practical and beneficial to business owners and key <br />management in small to mid-sized organizations. Topics vary. The cost <br />per event is $15. <br /> <br />C. Evening Exchange <br />Evening Exchange is a monthly afternoon networking event-taking place at <br />an area business. Evening Exchange is designed to create a relaxed <br />networking environment where business professionals from all company <br />sizes can discuss partnership opportunities and exchange ideas. The event <br />generally occurs the second Wednesday of the month. Location varies. No <br />cost except for beverages. <br /> <br />D. Monthly Educational Luncheon <br />The TCN Chamber hosts a monthly networking and educational luncheon. <br />The event includes an average of 50 participants and is intended to connect <br />with both new area businesses as well as those with deep roots in the <br />community. A featured presenter discusses issues pertinent to members in <br />the northern Twin Cities suburbs. Location varies. Cost is $16 per person. <br /> <br />E. north yp network <br />As an offering geared toward early stage business professionals, the north <br />yp network serves as the Chamber’s young professionals networking and <br />education group (ages from 21 to 35+/-). The north yp network holds <br />events twice a month: one social/networking; one educational. The group <br />self directs its agenda and is run by an active committee. Location and cost <br />varies. <br /> <br />2) DEED Small Business Development Center (SBDC) – www.mnsbdc.com <br />The state’s SBDC offers individual advice and guidance concerning the formation, <br />management, financing and operation of businesses. Counseling is provided at <br />no charge to qualified businesses, although there may be a fee for certain out-of- <br />pocket costs incurred by the SBDC. To qualify for counseling, the business must <br />be “small” as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Individuals who <br />are considering starting a business are also eligible for counseling. <br /> <br />How does the program work: <br />The client must sign a “Request for Counseling” form and must agree to <br />participate in surveys designed to measure the effectiveness of the SBDC <br />program. To maximize the value of the counseling, clients should prepare a draft <br />business plan before meeting with the counselor. SBDC counselors have <br />significant experience in the private sector, and many have extensive <br />management and financial consulting backgrounds. To learn more about the <br />services, Mounds View businesses can contact the local SBDC office located in at <br />the University of St. Thomas (Minneapolis campus). You can contact Michael <br />Ryan at 651-962-4500. <br /> <br />
