AI is not here to replace your business brain.
It's here to help you stop rewriting the same email 14 times, staring at a blank plan, and wondering if that “quick task” really needed to eat half your afternoon.

Join BBB and AI educator Betty Clark of BBB Accredited Business CPM Media for a beginner-friendly seminar built for small businesses that need practical help, not tech jargon.

You’ll learn how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can help with emails, planning, research, content, internal documents, and everyday workflows you can actually keep using.

BBB’s Center for Character Ethics is proud to celebrate this year’s Laws of Life Essay Contest winners. These students put thought and heart into the values that shape who they are and how they lead. Their essays remind us that character shows up in everyday choices.

As we mark 20 years of bringing this contest to students in Central Ohio, we’re also honored to recognize Dr. Lucy Frontera, Center for Character Ethics Board Member, longtime Laws of Life Judge, and one of the catalysts who helped make this program possible.

Congratulations to our student winners, and thank you to the families, teachers, judges, and supporters who make this celebration meaningful.

A big thank you to Renewal by Andersen for sponsoring the awards banquet!
