We are getting some good things together for the Siletz program. As soon as we find out who will be in this position permanently, we'll be able to get all the mini-programs going. I'm happy to report that our ONABEN Program, also, will be jon-line again. We have six to seven tribal members interested i n these classes. If you've never head of ONABEN, it's an organization that helps Native Americans start their own business. ONABEN stands for Oregon Native American Business Entrepre neurial Network. There are three different classes: the first one is "You and Your Business Idea," this is two 3-hour sessions? This class can help you decide if you want to take your business idea beyond just an idea. The second phase or class is called "Starting a Successful Business." This is a ten- week series of classes, designed to ghide you through the business plan writing process. The end result is a complete business plan than can be taken to lenders, for loan consideration. The third class is called "Sm all Business Management." This is a year-long practicum, in which advanced business skills are developed. This course will help you solve those real-live problems as your business grows. This class meets monthly for 12 months. If you have any questions or need more details about ONABEN, please call me at (541) 444-2532, and ask for D ub Bellinger.
