"The Columbia Basin Rural Development Institute is supporting the implementation of Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) in our communities.
This free workshop hosted in partnership with the College of the Rockies is open to both researchers and coordinators of BRE projects, BRE Steering Committee members (Economic Development Practitioners, local government representatives, Chamber of Commerce representatives) and stakeholders who would just like to learn more about our regional BRE initiative.
The morning will provide information to stakeholders with general interest and the afternoon will be tailored to the needs of  researchers and coordinators (interview protocol, survey options, data entry using the online database / client management system)."
