GBALP Lunch and Learns occur every quarter to give you and your staff the opportunity to gain knowledge and network with industry members and suppliers. Meals are no cost to attendees thanks to the generosity of our industry sponsors.

Please join us at our next Lunch and Learn to be held at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens on January 29th!

This complimentary seminar is aimed at helping you strengthen your business foundation.  The session will start at 8:30 am and will wrap up at 12:00 pm, and it is the first of a four-part series. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Business plan development, payroll solutions and exit plan establishment are just a few of the topics to be addressed.  Please contact Bethany O'Rear at 205-879-6964 x15 or bethany@aces.edu for registration and more information.  We hope to see you there!
