Steven L. Bragg and Dawn Leckenby of Calhoun Companies’ Arrowhead office in Lutsen recently returned from a road trip to Las Vegas after attending another International Business Brokerage Association (IBBA) conference and completing another set of continuing education courses presented by the University of Advanced Education for the Business Intermediary.

Bragg has been a member of the IBBA since 1996 and earned the designation of “Certified Business Intermediary” (CBI) in 2000 after extensive training and testing. CBI training covers all aspects of business brokerage ranging from financial business analysis to legal aspects and negotiating the sale of small to mid-size businesses. The “CBI” designation requires 53 hours of continuing education classes and attending two IBBA conferences every three years. The
International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) sponsored the seven-day educational event in Las Vegas where Steve attended classes from Nov. 17-22. Bragg received his Real Estate Sales Persons License in 1994 and his Minnesota and Wisconsin Real Estate Brokers Licenses in 2003. Additionally, since 2000, Bragg has been recognized by the Business Brokerage Press (BBP) as an “Industry Expert” providing valuable insight for the restaurant industry.

Bragg continues to work in northern Minnesota and western Wisconsin as he has for the past 15 years.
