Learning Takeaways and Peer Learning Feedback: Some of you have already posted your learning takeaways summaries in the forum. You watched some great webinars with insightful discussions and updated information, such as Coronavirus and your small business, best business practices for disaster/emergency management for the event industry, and 15 marketing mistakes most small businesses make. There are all from Youtube, so there are lots of great online resources out there. I am looking forward to reading more takeaways summaries and your responses to your peers’ learning.
