Business owners who would like to participate should be at their place of business during the event hours and prepared for a 15-minute conversation with the team of volunteer “walkers” assigned to their location. Conversations will focus on three key questions: “How is business?” “What do you like about doing business in your area?” and “How can we help your business thrive?”.
