Member Event - APS - 9/10/2020

 

As part of their ongoing efforts to provide business and community resources, APS is pleased to launch SizeUp Arizona designed to assist small-to-medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs around the state with access to data and information allowing them to innovate and expand.

With SizeUpAZ, Arizona businesses now have the ability to identify their unique competitive advantage through data analysis in four distinct areas:

  • Compare business performance to competitors
  • Identify potential customers, suppliers and competitors
  • Recognize the best geographic places to advertise
  • Gather demographic, spending and labor data for each unique business location

APS and the Arizona Commerce Authority are hosting a webinar introducing the tool and how to best navigate the data so each individual or business can customize for their own use.

Member Event - Hospice of the Valley - 9/15/2020




The coronavirus pandemic has imposed a multitude of losses upon our lives: the loss of freedoms and peace of mind, family and social connections—and for some, even the loss of a loved one. Our lives are forever changed, and we can’t imagine how to go on. These feelings of loss can be magnified during the social isolation caused by the pandemic.

Hospice of the Valley is offering a Zoom online presentation to help you cultivate strength and cope with challenges you never imagined. It is accessible from the comfort of your home or office and designed to support any adult in our community who is struggling with losses.

You don’t need to face this difficult time alone.

 

Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2020, 2–3 p.m.
