I just got a message from the
Washington Brewers Guild. They want breweries to know about two upcoming opportunities related to COVID-19 economic relief. Specifically, two upcoming webinars. One presented by the Brewers Association for its members. The other is presented by the Washington Small Business Development Center.
Here’s the info from the Guild.

MOUNT VERNON â Starting in January, entrepreneurs in Skagit and Island counties will be able to access new small business services through an office in downtown Mount Vernon.
The nonprofit Center for Inclusive Entrepreneurship, in partnership with the Washington Small Business Development Center, is opening the office to provide more support for entrepreneurs in underserved communities, said Mike Skinner, CIEâs executive director.
The office will provide free training and one-on-one advising to emerging entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses. The Mount Vernon branch will be similar to CIEâs office in Port Angeles, which opened in July 2019.
âWe are seeing real success and want to replicate that success,â he said.
