Last week, Russell Dale from The Iowa Center visited HUB 712 to lead the Early-Stage Essentials class for local entrepreneurs and small business owners.

As we continue building this new partnership with The Iowa Center, we’re excited to introduce another resource and support connection.

In addition to the workshop, Russell also took time to connect with small businesses throughout the day. He will continue to be a familiar, friendly face as this partnership grows.

We appreciate these partnerships that enable us to better serve small businesses and entrepreneurs in our region.
