The City's Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization Program (NCR) will offer a free workshop entitled Social Media Resources for Your Small Business from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Thursday, June 16 at the Cliff Morton Development and Business Services Center, located at 1901 South Alamo Street.

The workshop will demonstrate how small business owners can utilize free marketing tools such as Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter to expand their businesses and reach wider target audiences. The workshop will be conducted by Jennifer Navarrette, the creator and organizer of several new media organizations. She was the recipient of a 2010 Texas Social Media Award and has been a speaker at social media, entrepreneur, business and non-profit events across the country.

This workshop is offered as part of the NCR Business Basics (B2) Course Series. The courses are designed to help entrepreneurs in recognized distressed areas learn new skills, grow sales, and form critical networks. Business owners may attend the entire series, or attend individual workshops to brush-up on specific skills. Courses are conveniently held every third Thursday of the month. The classes are free for guests from the NCR/ TIRZ/ Empowerment Zone corridors. A $5 donation is suggested for guests from outside of these areas.
