The Silverdale Chamber of Commerce hopes to provide new value to business owners and leaders in the Kitsap community through a speaker series.

“We have assembled a great group of experts in every business aspect you can imagine: marketing and sales, operations, human resources, accounting, strategic development, and many more,” said Kathleen Knuckey, Chamber executive director. “This will help anyone who owns or operates a business to grow and succeed.”

According to the Chamber, experts will present briefly on a topic with implementable strategies and suggestions, before opening the floor to allow for open conversation.
