Community Action Committee of Lehigh Valley has a business development program to help entrepreneurs and existing business owners to develop their businesses.

After 16 weeks of instruction with professionals from the local business community, participants met at a ceremony at Lehigh Community College’s Fowler Center Jan. 20, where they received a certification of completion in the modules they completed.

Some participants in the program set up displays representing their businesses. For those who are in the food and beverage industry it gave them an opportunity to provide sample treats for the attendees.
