Conversation Corner - ONLINE with guest Lori Pendleton, Island Small Business Mentors Program

Conversation Corner is our informal gathering, typically held at the kitchen table at PEIBWA's Rural Women's Business Centre. We are now taking the conversation online every Friday, and everyone is welcome to join us through the free and easy-to-navigate Zoom Meetings platform!

Our guest on Friday, April 24th will be Lori Pendleton, a member of the Island Small Business Mentors program. This is a new volunteer group of retired Chartered Professional Accountants from PEI who want to help small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.  They have generously come together to offer free support to PEI small businesses with one-on-one mentoring over the phone and online.

During this event, Lori will:

• give an overview of her group’s services
• share financial ‘best practices’ to consider as we navigate through this crisis.
• discuss assessing your current situation, being open with your bank and creditors and finding alternate ways of doing business.
• answer questions on how she and her colleagues can assist you to position your business to recover from this crisis.

Lori has a Bachelor of Business Administration along with a professional accounting designation and has worked in the field of economic development for the last 25+ years both with the Province of Prince Edward Island as the Director of Business Expansion and as an Account Manager with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. 

After you register to attend, you will be provided with a Zoom meeting link to join the session.

Conversation Corner is a FREE program offered by the PEI Business Women's Association (PEIBWA) and both members and non-members are welcome to attend.
