The Flory Small Business Center, Inc. continues to offer free monthly workshops to entrepreneurs that are in the start-up phase of their business. The center is pleased to announce that their Start Up Workshops are being utilized by a substantial number of students from Stratford University’s Woodbridge Campus along with residents of Prince William County, the Cities of Manassas Park and Manassas, as well as surrounding counties.
Last summer, Dr. L. Paulette Jordan, Manager of Military Outreach for Stratford, initiated contact with the Flory Center to enroll many of Stratford’s MBA students in the Center’s Start Up Workshop. The collaboration was an immediate success and Stratford students have continued to participate in the workshops. Most recently, a number of students from Stratford’s MBA program, International Hospitality Management, and Healthcare Administration programs took advantage of the Flory Center’s February workshop to consider whether or not opening a small business might be right for them. They were joined by Stratford professor Dr. Stephen T. Redmon who views the workshop as a hidden gem of Prince William County.
"The Flory Business Center program provides an essential first step for any small business. I have researched top business development programs across the nation and the Flory Center is clearly one of the best. We are blessed to have this great world class resource in Prince William County,” stated attorney Dr. Stephen Redmon after attending the February workshop.
