"Expanding Your Office Space and Resources"
Are you a small office or a home office needing extra space for conferences or meetings? Does your business cover a wide geographical area and you need desk or office space in more than your home community? Do you need resources that you do not currently have in your office? Using a remote office and its services brings with it numerous advantages, but only if you are prepared to fully utilize them. Join us for a panel discussion led by Bill Ohlhaber from Regus, Robert Orenstein from New York Life Insurance Co., and Terry Ratoff from the Skokie Public Library. Our panel will discuss the options and tips available to expand your work environment beyond your four walls.
