It's been a fast and furious start to the year for the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. Between the High Country Economic Kickoff luncheon, the start of Watauga Leadership Institute, and participation in the first Boone Next community convening, our team has been in the middle of some important conversations.

We also were excited to be a part of the community-wide launch of STABLE Workplaces earlier this week, a multi-agency project designed to bring Staff Training and Leadership Development for Evolving workplaces.

On this week's Mind Your Business, we bring some important details on each of these projects, as well as provide a deeper dive on the STABLE workplaces initiative, including comments from business leaders like Lisa Cooper, CEO of Mast General Store, Angus Lamond, General Manager of Cheotla Resort, and Michelle Bollman, General Manager of Stick Boy Bread Co.

Mind Your Business is a weekly production of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. The show is made possible thanks to the support of Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.
