Background:
Betty Penny is the Founder of the Durham Home and Small Business Association.
Betty formed the DHSBA with a few business associates in 1996 to let the community at large know about small business and to help entrepreneurs and small business owners gain knowledge and assistance from other business owners who had successfully overcome the many barriers that face small business.
Betty is a Life Member of the DHSBA and runs very successful accounting and boat charter businesses in Port Perry, Ontario.
