The presentation discussed steps small businesses can take to ensure they are able to weather the recession.

Through the support of the Greater Washington Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a simultaneous Spanish translation of the presentation was available. If you are interested in the Recession Survival Checklist or SCORE giving the presentation to your organization contact the SCORE Chapter One Office. 3/4/09 New Workshop - Managing Your Credit Rating Credit rating scores are an integral part of any business plan.
