Informational Seminars
The WBCC makes education easy. Seminars are about getting you the most up-to-date & accurate information on a number of different topics. Instructors are WBCC staff, board members, and/or experts in a specific area. A relaxed environment & thorough session with ample time for questions & answers.
Interactive Workshops
While sometimes it is best to take information in, sometimes it is best to simply learn by doing. Workshops are hands-on, fast-paced, action-packed sessions. Instructors are WBCC staff, board members, and/or experts from the community in a specific area.
Business Brainstorming
Business Brainstorming Meetings are solutions-orientated & results-driven meetings in which each participant brings 1 specific issue to the table & all participants brainstorm potential solutions. Instant feedback, instant market research - your own mini focus group!
Panel Presentations
Panel of experts to speak on various aspects of a particular topic.
Testimonial
I heard about the WBCC from a Landscape Architect friend who recommended the Center. I attended one seminar and I liked it so much that I still continue to come. In the first twelve months in business, we generated over a quarter of million dollars in revenues and moved into a new 2000 square foot Class “A” office building. I contribute our successes to the WBCC.
