About the Artist

I manage the creative economy activities at Northern Maine development Commission(NMDC). NMDC is currently working to develop a Creative Economy Business Assistance Center (CEBAC)

Scope of Work
CEBAC will provide direct assistance to entrepreneurial businesses in the region by providing training and information that will give them tools to make their business more stable, more efficient and more marketable. The business assistance services will help clients identify local materials and resources that can be used to expand or start their business. Special emphasis will be placed on creating electronic connectivity between businesses (B-to-B) and between businesses and potential customers. CEBAC will facilitate the organization of these businesses into a functioning cooperative entity that will have, as one of its primary goals, the creation of an identifiable presence on the web which will expand their marketing capacity.
