SIDNEY – A free business workshop is scheduled for Tuesday at the Sidney Western Nebraska Community College campus. 

“Why Every Business Needs A Plan” is a one-hour practical session covering key business plan components and how your plan supports conversations with bakers and insurance agents. 

The program will be held in the WNCC I & E Center. It is hosted by E3 (Energizing Entrepreneurial Ecosystems). 

About E3: E3 is part of a collaboration of five communities (Holt County, Keith County, Red Cloud, Sidney and Valley County).  The primary purpose of E3 is to help community leaders understand community economic development in the 21st century has to be about more than job creation. In Nebraska communities, jobs are looking for people more than people are looking for jobs.
