PORTLAND — On Feb. 14, small business owners and managers will have the opportunity to participate in a free online event that will explain how artificial intelligence (AI) can help them in their operations, from organization to accounting to social media management.
‘Beneficial workshops like this would not be possible without community sponsors. In this case and others, that’s Norway Savings Bank,’ said Nancy Strojny, State Assistant District Director of SCORE Maine.
SCORE Maine is dedicated to helping people who are starting or growing a business through free services, mentors, client sessions, webinars, and in-person workshops. Norway Savings Bank has committed an $8,000 donation to support SCORE’s mission this year and has donated nearly $25,000 to the organization since 2021.
