Organizers-

 

Ms. Tamari Witkin Marcus holds a BFA and an MM in





Music Performance and Pedagogy and has been a small business owner herself for





well over 20 years.  After a devastating personal legal experience she





stumbled across GoSmallBiz' Adjunct Company, LegalShield, in early 2011, which subsequently





helped her get through the tail end of that experience as well as with recovery





of both Hurricanes Irene and Sandy. These two Hurricanes leveled the first





floor her family’s shoreline house twice! (She has a 3-ring  binder full





of her own experiences and testimonials of the service). As she gradually





rebuilt her life and studio, she determined to undergo the training and





certified in both the LegalShield as well as the GoSmallBiz programs so that





she could help other professionals  and





business owners rebuild their lives, receive the same and better benefits that





she did, and avoid needless pitfalls which every self-employed and small





business professional is faced with, get affordable professional guidance,





support and help, and live more worry-free lives! The tools and services these





companies offer may be of extraordinary benefit -especially for residents of





the Eastern Seaboard Shoreline areas hardest hit by both Hurricanes Irene and





Sandy, whose aftermath shoreline dwellers are still reeling from!
