Roadmap to Success workshop to explore creative brainstorming

Henderson Chamber series welcomes Alex Raffi Oct. 10

HENDERSON, Nev. – Alex Raffi, creative director and partner for Imagine Communications, will present “Business Brainstorming with Creative Courage” during the Henderson Chamber of Commerce’s Roadmap to Success workshop from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, at the Henderson Business Resource Center, located at 112 S. Water St. in downtown Henderson’ Water Street District.

During the first half of the workshop, Raffi will discuss how to create an environment conducive to creativity.
