“How to Start a Business” is the title of the seminar being presented from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 9, at the Overton County Chamber of Commerce in Livingston. The event is co-sponsored by the Overton County Chamber of Commerce.

Led by Vicki Henley, director of the TTU Small Business Development Center, the seminar will address topics of interest to potential entrepreneurs and new small business owners.
