Received yesterday. -gretchen

The House Democratic Caucus presents:

Small Business—BIG CHANGE!

Entrepreneurial development is an effective economic development strategy. It can also be used as a vehicle for leveraging existing community strengths and diversifying local economies. In Georgia, small businesses are key to the state's well-being. They account for a significant share of the state's economic production and hiring. Small firms make up 97.8% of the state's employers.

Creating economic security in any community first begins with understanding the impact of fiscal responsibility. Democrats are hosting this series of statewide seminars to build financial literacy for families, help with the information for startups and provide useful intel for existing small businesses.

Goals:

• Provide information on financial literacy for individuals
• Encourage financial security and support entrepreneurship.
• Provide opportunities for entrepreneurs to connect with one another.
• Provide fledgling businesses with access to support services.
• Help entrepreneurs' access capital.
