This is a fantastic opportunity for local entrepreneurs, business owners, and community members to connect, share insights, and discuss the future of small businesses in our area.
Small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities, providing jobs, unique products and services, and fostering economic growth. Hereās why strong local businesses matter:
- Boosting Economic Growth ā Small businesses create two out of every three new jobs and keep money circulating within the local economy.
- Enhancing Education & Workforce Development ā Local businesses support schools through mentorships, internships, and career opportunities, helping to improve high school graduation rates.
- Strengthening Community Ties ā Small businesses sponsor local events, youth sports teams, and nonprofit initiatives, enhancing the quality of life for everyone.
- Ā Creating Vibrant, Walkable Communities ā Thriving small businesses attract visitors, encourage foot traffic, and contribute to the character of the community.
As a small business entrepreneur who founded Potomac Local News, I understand the importance of providing local news coverage and affordable, targeted advertising solutions that cut through the noise and restrictive social media algorithms.
I invite you to join me and other local business leaders to share ideas, build connections, and learn how we can work together to strengthen our local economy. Letās make 2025 a year of growth and success for Haymarketās small businesses.
Event Details:
- Haymarket Small Business Roundtable
