On February 17th, Frank Ableson and Barry McGuire of MSI will be presenting business development tips at the Marriott in Bridgewater, NJ (700 Commons Way). The event is hosted by the North Jersey chapter of the Christian Chamber of Commerce. Meeting on the first and third Wednesday of the month, the chamber provides a unique opportunity for Christian business owners. From the chamber website (christianchambercommerce.org):
