This year’s forum will focus on “Making Social Media Work for Your Small Business” and will feature Kristen Ruby, the founder and CEO of Ruby Media Group.

I am delighted that Ms. Ruby will share her practical knowledge and insights to help small businesses in our area thrive.”
“As a provider of small business development programs and services, we are delighted to co-sponsor this forum with Senator Oppenheimer. We know that Kristen Ruby will zero in on the most effective and productive uses of social media to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses,” noted Anne Janiak, WEDC’s Executive Director.
