The Odd Couple: The Female Version

07:30 PM — 09:45 PM

Neil Simon's revision of his hugely successful play, The Odd Couple, see the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger.  As Florence is going through a separation from her husband, Olive invites her to move in as her roommate. Olive and Florence have very different personalities. Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment. Florence is obsessively clean and tidy... Olive's easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence's highly-strung, nroteuic tendencies.  Will their friendship survive?

07:30 AM — 09:30 AM

Entrepreneurs start businesses because they want to create their own future – their own freedom. They work hard to realize their dreams, making many sacrifices and facing countless decisions daily as they grow their business. But what happens when business owners either want to level up their business, or they start to run out of steam? Join us for a 70-minute panel discussion with four local thought leaders who will address the challenges faced by business owners who are ready to next level their business. Our panelists will examine issues faced by business owners at three different stages of business; the start-up, mid-cycle and mature business. It is never too early nor too late to plan. Our panelists will examine the following:
  • Where are you now?
  • Where are you headed?
  • What do you need to do to get there?

Philip Evenden - Insurance and Financial Planning Expert to Small Business at IWM Inc. Phil will focus on ways to provide safety nets and fences for your business.
