As recession grips the U.S. economy, business owners are looking for new strategies for riding out these challenging times.

Cardinal Bank, the Rappahannock Region Small Business Development Center and the Chamber are pleased to announce a new forum to offer just such tips.

U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman will open the forum with remarks about the economic legislation pending in Congress.

Dr. Steven Greenlaw, professor of economics at University of Mary Washington, will then offer an overview of the current state of the economy and share thoughts on possible scenarios for economic growth in 2010 and beyond.

Brian Baker, executive director of the RRSBDC, will focus on “Business Survival Priorities.”

Joe DiStefano, Cardinal Bank’s vice president for Small Business Banking, will discuss the importance of effective business planning and how to secure financing in a tight lending market.
