The Small Business & Advocacy Forum brings together entrepreneurs, community leaders, and advocates for a meaningful conversation about how individuals and organizations can use their voice to strengthen businesses and communities.

Panelists will explore the role of advocacy, civic engagement, public safety, procurement, workforce needs, and community partnerships in addressing challenges and expanding access to resources and economic opportunities.

Attendees will gain a better understanding of how collaboration, informed advocacy, and institutional access can help create stronger pathways for small businesses and the communities they serve.
