The Small Business Advocacy Council and a robust number of chambers and organizations hosted a small business mayoral forum.  This was a lively discussion about each candidate’s visions for supporting small businesses and neighborhood business districts.

We want to thank all of the local chambers of commerce that partnered with us on this important forum. This forum was insightful and valuable, and we sincerely thank all of the candidates for taking the time out of their busy schedules to join us for this important discussion!
