Networking, workforce development and expanded opportunities are just a few of the themes for an event this Friday hosted by the DeWitt County Development Council.

Executive Director of the DCDC Ruth Stauffer says business professionals, workforce development groups and educational leaders are invited to a breakfast Friday morning at the Clinton Country Club where they can learn more about a number of opportunities locally to help improve the community's business climate.

The Leaders Breakfast aims to provide small and medium sized area businesses with resources and opportunities they may not have time or the money to afford. Stauffer indicates it's a great opportunity for networking among employers and professionals.

The Leaders Breakfast begins at 7:30 am with breakfast at the Clinton Country Club on Route 51 in Clinton. Stauffer says they will ask for a ten-dollar donation as a part of the meeting and it should only last about an hour.
