    How Rhode Island Commerce is offering businesses assistance


    Register here for the live, interactive webinar on Wednesday, March 18 at 1:00 p.m.
     
    I often forget that everyone in the state doesn't know about the programs I spend all day talking with businesses about. With that in mind, we're broadcasting a live webinar to Rhode Islanders about the programs and people of Rhode Island Commerce and explaining how we help businesses of all sizes in our state.
     
    We'll cover how Rhode Island Commerce offers business assistance. For example, we'll go into detail about popular programs like SupplyRI, Wavemaker, Innovation Vouchers, and the Renewable Energy Fund.
     
    Joining me to take your questions will be our senior director of business services, Chris Cannata. We're both excited to engage with more members of our state's business community and hope you'll join us on March 18.
