INDIANAPOLIS – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Central Indiana SmallBusiness Development Center, and Indiana Chamber Executive Association are offering Indiana businesses and stakeholders a free webinar this Thursday, Sept. 7, at 10 a.m., on resiliency training before, during and after disasters.
