Smarter Living Presentations

Smarter Living is a program designed to take BBB representatives into our communities to share experiences and scenarios of issues we see in the local marketplace through interactive presentations. Our goal is to educate and prepare our local consumers to prevent falling victim to various scams. 

These presentations have a variety of relevant topics designed to help teens, seniors, military families and investors be better prepared in the marketplace.
