This month'\;s Central Iowa Business Academy is a Small Business Management session. The Small Business Management track of our series focuses on topics relevant to those who own their own business or hold a position within upper management. The topics presented will help the every day manager or owner become a better leader as well as teach the things that no one tells you\, like important tax info\, best social media practices\, or succession planning. \;
