The first full week of May is designated National Small Business Week. Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Five years ago, Paul Long, a local business banker, created the South Sound Business Summit to give the opportunity for small business owners to hear from local South Sound leaders about the challenges and successes of owning a small business. Last year, 200 local leaders attended the summit and learned from three amazing speakers. Each year the topics are chosen by the previous year’s attendees.
This year’s event will be held Tuesday May 5, 2020 from 8:00am to 12:00pm. The event will be held at McGavick Conference Center located at 4500 Steilacoom Blvd SW in Lakewood.
The speaker series is a great opportunity for small business owners to learn through an educational event that inspires and connects the business community while networking with other like-minded business leaders.
