Registration is now open for the 2025 Mission Acceleration Business Accelerator program at Blue Ridge Community College. Profit, not-for-profit and government agencies are invited to register. This marks the sixth year that Blue Ridge and the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce have partnered to offer the Mission Acceleration Business Accelerator.
This year features a new Spring Retreat format, modeled after the yearly retreats large organizations use to innovate and improve. Led by the program’s Executive Director Gary Heisey, the program will guide participants through a structured retreat process for greater sustainable success.
“This custom program assists participating entrepreneurs in identifying new ways to innovate their businesses for growth and sustainability using industry best practices,” said Heisey.
Organizations that prioritize retreats focused on annual or strategic planning gain a competitive edge through enhanced vision, decision-making, and goal setting. By stepping away from daily operations, teams can refine strategies that lead to more effective execution and a stronger organizational culture. These retreats also serve as a morale boost, energizing employees and reinforcing a shared commitment to success.
The registration fee is $75 per person. For more information on how this new retreat can help your organization and a registration application to book your Spring Retreat – visit www.blueridge.edu/mission-acceleration, or call (828) 694-1735.
