County Commissioner Wilson Robertson to speak to Biz Net

Mark your calenders for Thursday September 29th!

We're extremely lucky to have another fabulous guest speaker. Escambia County Commissioner Wilson Robertson. Wilson was born in Mississippi in 1940 and moved to Pensacola when he was 24. He and his wife, Ann, have four children and seven grandchildren. Wilson established and operated a contracting and a real estate business in Pensacola since 1964.

Commissioner Robertson has been involved in Escambia County government for many years and brings a unique perspective from a small business viewpoint as well. His talk is entitled "Insight into County Government". Be sure to attend!

A visit with Ken Parks

Today, I went to lunch with Ken Parks of Main Street Properties. Then we looked at a model home in the Maple Oaks subdivision by Henry Company Homes. The subdivision is just North of 10 Mile Road and East of Highway 29.



This was also an opportunity to showcase the resources of Youtube, Facebook and Blogger and how easily they can be used to further one's business.

Capt. Miller's Biz Net Presentation

It was an exceptional presentation! Even people who have lived in Pensacola and visited the Naval Aviation Museum many times learned some facinating new things. In addition we all learned the bright future for the Museum and our area with the new and exciting developments. And all in less than 30 minutes!

Feel free to check it out yourself!
