About the Program
Category: Community and Economic Development
Year: 2023
Harford County’s business resource breakfasts are a one-stop-shop approach to disseminating information from local and state resource partners to the county business community in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. At the breakfasts, local business leaders have the opportunity to liaise with representatives from government entities, nonprofit organizations, and other groups associated with business development and workforce support and growth all in one room. Attendees learn from the presenters about the resources and programs available to support their businesses, various financing and funding options, relevant news and updates relating to the regional business ecosystem, and more. The breakfasts are always hosted at a local business to maintain the community feel of the event and are held early in the day not to interfere with the busiest hours of operation for most attendees. The breakfast’s location varies each year, as businesses from a specific industry sector, business park, and/or county region serve as that year’s invitee list. The breakfasts are held annually and coincide with Harford County Business Appreciation Week festivities.
