The Capital Area District Library (CADL) is upping its efforts to help local business owners create business plans and market their products by offering classes and other resources to new business owners.
According to excerpts from the article:
Lansing even has a business librarian who does one-on-one counseling and assists in the development of business plans entrepreneurs can take to the bank.
With that in mind, meet Marsha Madle, president of Madle Marketing, LLC, who served on the CADL advisory committee, is a founding memberof the Meridian Area Business Association (MABA), chairperson of the Meridian Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and the Meridian Township Entrepreneurial Asset Movement (MTEAM), the latter of which counts as its primary accomplishment the formation of the Meridian Assets Resource Center(MARC).
