The center's new Financial Fitness series features free workshops and paid seminar sessions on important financial issues, such as financial statements and accounting basics; types and sources of financing; establishing and rebuilding credit; risk management and business insurance; tax planning; buying and selling the business; and many more. The workshops and seminars combine comprehensive training from subject matter experts with technical assistance and access to online and other resources. Speakers include Barney faculty, lenders, accounting and insurance professionals, among others. Participants learn practical tips to implement in their business and an increased knowledge and confidence level to better manage their operations. The center's Power and Progress Business Women's Symposium is an annual event, held in January. The event is a positive start to each new year —a chance for attendees to reflect on their past year in business and plan for the year ahead. A local, motivating female keynote speaker is featured each year, sharing her successful entrepreneurial story and the valuable wisdom that comes with it. At Power and Progress, women come to network, meet like-minded individuals, and gain valuable practical knowledge. The symposium kicks off the next round of the Women's Business Roundtable (WBR) program with a related topic and the opportunity for new WBR participants to register. Business women in attendance leave the symposium energized, educated, supported, and inspired. The Hartford and ACCION deliver valuable information to new small business owners.
