East Bay EDA Releases 2020 Economic Outlook
The East Bay Economic Development Alliance has published the 49-page East Bay Economic Outlook 2020, in partnership with Bank of America, Alameda County Workforce Development Board and the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County.
The 2020 East Bay Economic Outlook Report is a summary of key economic indicators for the East Bay as it compares to the Bay Area region and the state of California. Because of the timing of the report, most of the data presented preceded the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, the report is intended to provide business leaders with information and perspectives on the health of the East Bay economy. As the region looks ahead to economic recovery, the data will be critical to inform current and prospective policy responses.

MDBW Online Meeting:
Learn Debbie Hoffman's System to Get "Yes" From More Clients
Wednesday July 8, 11:30am-1pm, Free and Open To All!
Debbie Hoffman is a heart based speaker/mentor and founder of Power-Up! Your Follow-Up. She'll introduce you to her proven follow-up success system that focuses on establishing relationships, adding value, and serving the needs of potential clients and referral partners.
Debbie works closely with relationship driven entrepreneurs, coaches and network marketers who are letting potential clients and income slip through the cracks because they don't have a reliable follow-up plan in place. Her proven step-by-step follow-up system helps them have more ideal clients saying "yes" to working with them--without being salesy, and even during tough business cycles.
Please take Debbie's
BizQuiz before the meeting. In less than 10 minutes, you'll have a clearer picture of your follow-up skills and where potential clients and income are slipping through the cracks. Debbie will use our collective results to customize her talk, and she has a very cool and helpful gift for all of you who attend our July 8 meeting!
