MANAHAWKIN – The Southern Ocean Chamber presents its next Innovate and Caffeinate breakfast with an interactive program, updates, and networking on April 24 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the private ballroom of The Mainland Route 72, Manahawkin.
The popular chamber event will be geared to managers, owners, and operators with “Thinking Creatively, Innovatively & Entrepreneurially.” Whether launching a new business in 2024 or refining current business strategies, Suasion Communications Group President, Dr. Susan Adelizzi-Schmidt, is set to inspire all in this workshop.
