Herring plans small business seminar

Herring Bank will host a Small Business & Ag Producers Appreciation Seminar next Tuesday, May 5, in Clarendon to show the Herring team’s support for local businesses.
The purpose of the event is to encourage businesses to plan for success, according to Jerry Woodard, Market President of Herring Bank in Clarendon.
“Our hopes are to spark interests among business owners and facilitate planning and being proactive instead of just reacting as things happen,” Woodard said.
The seminar, which will be held at the Clarendon College Bairfield Activity Center from 6 to 8 p.m., aims to provide local business owners with tips that will help them reach their goals for success. The covered topics will discuss solutions to help grow businesses in a number of areas.
Herring officials want to help attendees save time, understand the various legal aspects of business ownership, and walk away with great ideas on boosting business, and the bank assures that attendees will have fun while learning a lot.
This event is free to all attendees. Beverages and hors d’oeuvres will be provided for our guests’ enjoyment.
The topics and speakers for Herring Bank’s Small Business & Ag Producers Appreciation Seminar are: “Protecting Your Success” with Rodney Skelton (CPA), PFS Securities America Inc.; “Panhandle Groundwater” with groundwater conservation district general manager C.E. Williams; “the Role of EDC in the Community” with Clarendon EDC Interim Executive Director Jack King; “Wellness Benefits” with Clarendon physician Dr. John C. Howard, MD; “Common Legal Issues” with Clarendon attorney James T. Shelton; “Relationship Banking” with Herring Bank Credit Analyst Manager Andy Nenstiel; and “Tools to Simplify Your Business” with Herring Bank’s  Internet Banking & Social Media Specialist Erika Silva and Merchant Portfolio Administrator Jodi Maxwell.
“We have such great respect for our local business owners,” Woodard said. “Opening and running a business certainly isn’t easy, but what it does to strengthen our community is truly priceless.”
Herring Bank would like to extend a special thank you to our community partners for helping us make this event possible: Panhandle Groundwater, Clarendon Economic Development Corporation, Dr. John C. Howard, James T. Shelton, and PFS Securities America, Inc.
