The Economic Development Department and the Charles County Chamber of Commerce are hosting a webinar titled "Show Me the Money" on Wednesday, Aug. 5, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. The webinar is designed to help small businesses in Charles County understand how to apply for the available financial resources.

President and CEO of the Charles County Chamber of Commerce Bonnie Grady said, “The purpose of this virtual event, “Show Me the Money,” is to connect our business community to the financial resources available. Businesses are hurting, and many small businesses do not realize there is still funding available. Our experts will educate local businesses on where to find the money and how to access it.”

The webinar will feature speakers: College of Southern Maryland, Small Business Development Center Business Consultant Bill Hitte; Charles County Economic Development Department, Chief of Business Development Lucretia Freeman-Buster; and Lendistry, Director of Sales Clarence Campbell, EVP. These panelists are experts on small business resources available in the region. They will help small businesses identify the programs that are right for them and provide guidance on how to access and apply to these programs.

"It is still essential we continue to provide financial support to small businesses at this time," says Economic Development Department Director Darréll Brown. "Helping our businesses remain open and prosperous as the State recovers is vital, and this webinar will help inform our businesses of their options."
