If you've ever debated hiring employees or delegating to independent contractors, Thursday's speaker should clear things up.

Los Angeles attorney Jeff Boxer will give a presentation on the Gig Economy at our March 4 Synergy Business Connections meeting, which will take place at 10:00 PST on Zoom. Jeff practices in labor and employment law, and he has seen what can happen when employers and employees don't understand how the gig economy works. 

Synergy membership was a no-brainer of Kurt French. As the man in charge of business development, marketing, and customer service at Thousand Oaks Plumbing, joining a networking group was top priority. “Thousand Oaks Plumbing was simply too good to be too quiet as they’ve been,” says Kurt. 

We had a jam-packed meeting last Thursday! Not only did we get to hear about Yashica Budde and Smash RX in our usual member spotlight, but we also learned about business development and tax preparation from Steve Freeman of Freeman & Associates Accountancy Corporation, AND we discovered that our opinions can shape the future of Thousand Oaks as the city lays out a General Plan for the next 25 years. 

Thousand Oaks residents have an important opportunity right now to help determine what our community looks like for the next twenty-five years. Take the land use alternatives survey by March 1 to share your opinions on what is best for our city's residents and businesses.

Steve Freeman, CPA and founder of Freeman & Associates Accountancy Corporation, will give a presentation on stage-by-stage business development at our 3rd Thursday meeting on February 18. 

When you walk into your therapy session with Yashica Budde and she hands you a sledgehammer, don’t be alarmed: providing stress relief with Destruction Therapy is what Smash RX is all about.
