Become a Member of
the RBTC
The Business Link Resource Center
(BLRC) is the primary vehicle through which business education and training
is delivered to RBTC members. Whatever your business needs, we are
here to help. Each person entering the RBTC will be considered a customer
by our staff. Once oriented to our technical assistance process,
customers may elect to become RBTC members.
Each interested guest
will be asked to complete the required RBTC Membership Application, and
pay a $200 membership fee. Guests will also receive a New Member’s
Toolkit, which explains all the major benefits associated with joining,
including information about the center, the Business Link Resource Center,
the Plan Room, and our other business and education initiatives.
Once the application process is completed, BLRC staff will conduct a four-pronged assessment of each business in the areas of Business and Finance, Human Resources, Marketing
and Communications and Plan Room (construction) performance and readiness.
These individualized assessments will serve as the underpinning for an
Action Plan uniquely crafted to redress, by specific dates, any identified deficiencies
within each enterprise.
Assistance will be provided through
professional consulting offered through the RBTC, pairings with MBA
interns (as arranged by RBTC staff), and our in-house Legal Clinic.
