HR is Hard. Let’s Talk About It
Hiring. Training. Keeping good people. It’s one of the trickiest parts of running a small business—and we know we’re not the only ones feeling it.
So we’re bringing folks together for an HR Roundtable—a casual, come-as-you-are meetup to swap ideas, share what’s working (or not), and see what kind of support our outdoor + brewery community really needs.
Happening Wednesday, August 27 Zoom at 12:00 PM
We’ll cover things like:
How you're hiring and keeping great folks
What HR systems (if any) you’re using
Where you feel stuck or stretched
What kind of support could actually help
Can’t make it? Fill out this quick survey so your voice is still in the mix.
Let’s figure out what’s possible—together.

To celebrate the resilience of our city and its people, The Pumpkin Pedaller rolls on this Saturday, Oct. 24th. AoB appreciates the support of the Asheville Downtown Association, Wedge Brewing Company, Rabbit Rabbit, and Asheville Brewing Company each of whom collaborated to make this event possible.
The routes feature downtown streets to support the local businesses that are able to open. Participants are encouraged to spend a few dollars at local establishments while enjoying the day. AoB will continue to support downtown activation as part of the collective recovery effort. Saturday’s ride is one small act of supporting our community.
