Description:

For many businesses, summer can often be a slow period. Between kids being out of school, people taking vacations, and folks just generally soaking up the sun while we have it in Massachusetts, it may mean that you’re not as busy as you usually are. And that’s OK!

In this Lunch & Learn, business experts will give some pointers on how you can use this “lull” to your advantage.
