- Meeting Overview:
The Miami Lakes Elderly Affairs Committee is preparing for an event aimed at empowering new business owners within the community. This event, scheduled for September 20th, is set to offer a wealth of information on resources, useful business knowledge, and the benefits of conducting business in the Miami Lakes area. Key topics under consideration for the event include human resources, taxes, accounting, compliance, and the unique advantages local businesses enjoy.
In preparation for the upcoming event, the committee engaged in a discussion about potential topics and speakers that would provide the most value to attendees. A strong emphasis was placed on the need for content that focuses on resources that are vital to small business owners, such as funding sources, insurance insights, and an understanding of the new beneficial owner information form required for corporations. The committee considered the impact this form might have on local entrepreneurs and the importance of keeping them informed.
The discussion revealed a consensus on the necessity to include practical, engaging content. Ideas floated included interactive sessions that could demonstrate business operations, such as categorizing employees and identifying funding avenues. The committee expressed the intention to cover specific details within each topic to maintain audience engagement.
Debate ensued over the potential venue for the event. The committee deliberated whether to hold the event at a university to attract a larger audience or at the current location preferred for guest comfort. Alternative venues were also explored, including a rooftop space at a local bank, with the committee resolving to gather more information to make a final decision.
Another point of discussion was the structure of the agenda. The committee considered merging certain topics, like accounting and HR compliance, to streamline the content and avoid overwhelming attendees. The idea was to take attendees through the growth stages of a business as the employee count increases, thereby illustrating the evolution of compliance and financial management needs.
Securing engaging speakers was a focal point of the discussions, with the committee aiming to balance the number of speakers on each topic. Members also debated the inclusion of a motivational speaker at the event, recognizing the need for inspiration alongside educational content. This led to discussions on the best approach to secure speakers who would resonate with and motivate the audience.
In addition to content, the committee addressed logistics such as sponsorships for the event. They discussed reaching out to specific contacts for support. The committee also reviewed the event’s agenda, proposing a schedule reminiscent of the previous year’s, which would include a networking session and a raffle.
The committee aimed to finalize the agenda and secure a venue by the next meeting, with the ultimate goal of providing valuable and actionable information for new business owners.
