UD’s Lerner is offering free virtual help for business owners

During a particularly difficult year for the economy and a landscape that will remain changed for the foreseeable future, business leaders looking for guidance as they move through the COVID-19 pandemic are invited to join The Lifelong Lerner Webinar Series, free seminars from the University of Delaware’s Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics held monthly through Dec. 17.

Topics target team leaders, small biz owners and food industry entrepreneurs. The webinars pair evidenced-based research with practical application, delivered by Lerner educators and experienced experts from the field.

On Thursday, Oct. 22 at 4 p.m., get advice on “Leading Teams During a Crisis,” moderated by Derron Bishop, assistant professor of business administration. The panelists will be:

• Judd Wright, partner at Grant Thornton Audit Services
• Maria Black, president of worldwide sales at ADP

• Sal Mistry, associate professor of management

The team leading webinar will be followed by two more free webinars before the end of the year; keep an eye on the registration page for panelists:

• Nov. 19 — Helping Restaurants Pivot During a Pandemic
• Dec. 17 — Weathering the COVID Storm: Keeping Small Businesses Afloat
