Katie Shorter
Growing a Great Business
Are you looking for help in growing your business or maybe considering starting a new one?
Small Business Centers offer a wealth of resources and information to help. From software programs that help to create successful business plans to a bounty of tools and techniques to overcome challenges, small business centers can provide the guidance and encouragement to help your business thrive!
Katie Shorter, MBA, MEd, Director of the Small Business Center in Pamlico County, will join us on October 19 to share how we can access these valuable resources and build successful, rewarding businesses.
Katie has extensive experience in managing businesses from rural Montana to the United Kingdom and right here in New Bern. She brings a unique understanding of the business challenges emerging from post-Florence recovery, pandemic set-backs, and adopting new technologies. She is a dynamic advocate for Eastern Carolina small businesses and startups.

Thank You to Our October Dessert Sponsor
Bonita Simmons

Today, Bonita is enjoying the flexibility of being an independent recording artist. Her talent is in high demand, as she is frequently requested to sing at venues and events throughout Eastern North Carolina!
Although she's experienced many tribulations, Bonita's life lessons are part of her unique tapestry that enables her to relate to people who are hurting. One of her biggest accomplishments is her outreach work with those who are incarcerated, sharing God's love through song. Indeed, Bonita has defined her own success, choosing to embrace an obedient lifestyle according to God’s will for her life and career. She simply allows God to do the navigation and depends solely on Him to direct her career path- living by her motto, “If I make the way, then I’ll have to pay the way. But if I allow HIM to make the way, he’ll pay the way!"
