This season, it’s time to give back to the businesses that sustain families and communities throughout the year. The Enterprise Center’s Boost Black & Brown Businesses campaign aims to raise $25,000 in support of Black and brown businesses that have lost crucial holiday sales to COVID-19. The end of the pandemic is in sight, but our small businesses need a boost to make it through the winter and on to recovery.

Introducing Cocktails & Economics, a next-level, interactive, multi-city event for top low-moderate income small-medium business (LMI SMB) CEOs to connect with leading investors, economists, and business industry experts. This is not your average conference. Our goal is to demystify economic topics and further elevate the financial acumen of already successful LMI SMBs.

Locations:

The Enterprise Center and its partners are committed to working with the small business community to navigate the immediate and longer-term effects from the COVID-19 outbreak.
