October 23, 2025 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM (CDT)

Description

The Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce is proud to partner with Verizon and the NGLCC on an upcoming grant opportunity. We are hosting two in-person classes as part of the Verizon Small Business Digital Readiness Courses.

On, October 23rd from 5-6:30PM we will be offering courses on Branding and Social Media Marketing.

2 Digital Ready Courses Offered:

  • The Soul of Your Brand: Before a brand can be built, it must be felt. This session is an invitation to pause and reflect. A brand without clarity feels scattered, disconnected, and easily forgotten. When you anchor into your purpose, every brand decision becomes effortless.
  • Keeping the Conversation Going: This course is ideal for people who want to learn social media marketing and apply it to reach and engage customers.

Verizon is awarding $10,000 to 50 small businesses just like yours! To become eligible to apply for the grants, enroll in Digital Ready (for free!), complete 2 Digital Ready courses or events and complete the application by 12/10/2025. Will you be the next recipient?
