Ideas to Help Accomplish <br /> BR&E Goals <br /> 1. Get the support and advice of the HBA. <br /> 2. Complete a list of Hugo businesses along with phone and <br /> email contacts. <br /> 3. Segment the local businesses into 2 groups or more; ex. large <br /> and small businesses. Being that Hugo has 200+ businesses <br /> ranging from in home businesses to large corporations we <br /> thought it best to split them up into groups so to specifically <br /> tailor meetings/events to the size of the business. <br /> 4. Either send out a mailer or set up a large meeting with all the <br /> business owners to unveil our committee, ask what peoples <br /> general needs are, and to just start creating a relationship. <br /> 5. Create educational workshops to help educate local business <br /> managers and owners to help foster success and growth. <br /> These workshops would be hosted on a quarterly or semi <br /> annual rate and take place in the "Oneka Room" at city hall. <br /> While the BR&E sub-committee may be hosting the event we <br /> would need much support from city hall, the EDA, and HBA. <br /> a. At these workshops we would invite guests to come in <br /> and either teach or be a speaker. A great idea is to <br /> invite the two women who own Festival to come in and <br /> speak to the larger businesses group. <br /> b. Get local colleges, like MBA programs, involved to <br /> help teach our businesses. <br /> c. Educate businesses on what federal and local support <br /> they can get. <br /> 6. Develop a job bank. This bank would be a monthly or <br /> weekly updated page on the cities existing website. Citizens <br /> and businesses that need work help can post a simple job <br /> description and qualifications on the page. People can post <br /> jobs ranging from a grocery bagger at Festival to a VP at one <br />
