February’s dinner meeting of the Association of Home Businesses introduces you to “The Freelancer” – today’s most common home businessperson; the speaker is Marina Martinez-Bateman.
A guided conversation asks the question: “Can we use Portland’s robust neighborhood business association culture to benefit freelancers and other home-based businesses?”
As a former freelancer, former business association board member, and the owner of a home-based business, Marina has a unique insight into the overlapping interests and needs of freelancers – needs that most traditional business associations struggle to serve.
