The Upside of a Down Economy: Buying Locally

Attendees will learn more about how their own purchasing habits can affect the community around them, as well as a new perspective on how we, as Arizonans, can empower ourselves to recover from the financial crisis happening in the country. Business owners will pick up new ideas about how to better market themselves in this rapidly changing environment where everyday folks are trying to support businesses located closer to home.
