Uncertainty. That’s the word that economists are using to describe the U.S. economy lately.
It’s also the theme of an upcoming small business event.
The 11th annual Small Business Workshop, hosted by Michigan marketing consulting firm The LEE Group, will explore “strategies for resilience” in the face of economic uncertainty. The event will take place from 8 a.m. to noon on Wednesday at the Corner Ballpark, and cover topics like the latest tariffs and how they are impacting small businesses.
Mark Lee, president and CEO of The Lee Group, joined The Metro to share more ahead of the event.
