January 21 and 22, 2025 – A joint effort between the Othello Chamber of Commerce and SkillSource aims to empower and strengthen small businesses through monthly gatherings where business owners and community partners can network and share resources. These business meetups are in Spanish and in English. Café y Conexión is led in Spanish by Mayra Eaton-Garcia, SkillSource Business Engagement Specialist. And Business is Brewing is led in English by Jacklyn Wilhelm from the Othello Chamber.
The first of these meetups on January 21 and 22 brought together multiple small businesses across the two sessions in Othello. Conversations centered around some of the pressures and struggles that local business owners face, and the community resources available that could be of assistance. The goal is to increase attendance at both Café y Conexión and Business is Brewing so that business owners can better access the guidance and tools to strengthen their businesses, create sustainability, and foster economic success.
The next business meetups will be on February 18 and February 19, from 10 until 11 am. Future meetups will be shared to the Events Calendar on the SkillSource website.
