Our co-founder, Ginny Bonifacino, had the pleasure of speaking to two different groups of new business owners this fall.
For the Independent Museum Professionals network, she co-presented with her law school friend and fellow museum-lover, Heather Hope Kuruvilla, on The Business of Being an Independent Museum Professional. They covered common issues and tips for structuring and naming your business, taxes and insurance, consultant contracts, and intellectual property through the lens of working with museums.
For the Maryland Women’s Business Center, Ginny taught on protecting a business’s intellectual property and adding value to your business during a presentation entitled Copyright and Trademark: Protecting your Intellectual Property. She led participants through how to identify the different types of intellectual Property in their business, copyright and trademark registration basics, and steps that they can take NOW to protect their intellectual property.
