Fact Sheets for New Business Opportunities

To help EIA members and other entrepreneurs identify new business opportunities and serve their communities more effectively, the EIA, in conjunction with EDUMETRIX, has produced a series of fact sheets to describe new business opportunities in preK-12.  In conjunction with the fact sheets, the EIA presented a webinar series led by experts covering each fact sheet area and offering Q/A opportunities.  These webinars started in September 2012 and took place every 2nd and 4th Wednesday through the end of April 2013.  All fact sheets can be found here . And you can listen to each archived webinar and accompanying slides here.

The EIA is grateful to our partner, EDUMETRIX (www.EDUMETRIX.com) for helping facilitate each webinar and fact sheet.  If you want to reposition and grow your business, contact EDUMETRIX (850-677-1206).
