Rachel Hazelton, a commercial lender with First Guaranty Bank, will lead the workshop. She will cover strategies to protect business assets and plan for long-term stability.
The session will also address fraud prevention, data protection, and the use of technology to improve efficiency. In addition, attendees will learn about retirement planning options.
