MANSFIELD — The Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development announces its upcoming event, BOSS (Business Owners Sharing Solutions), designed to equip and connect business owners and managers.

The event will feature a panel of distinguished speakers who are experts in their respective fields, discussing vital topics relevant to small business owners and managers.

Do you have a plan for who will next own your business as you age out or no longer want to own the business?

Do you have a plan for developing employees ready to fill many roles within your business as time goes by and others retire and move on?

Whether you are a young professional or seasoned in your field, our panelists have valuable information that you don’t want to miss.

Our speakers will share their personal journeys through succession planning, highlighting what worked and what didn’t, and why it is so important to have a plan for the future.

We will explore both retirement and selling a business from a sole proprietor viewpoint, as well as how to develop employees within a larger organization to take on leadership roles as more senior employees retire or move on.

It’s never too early to start formulating a plan for the future — join us to learn how to start.
