May Is Small Business Month—Great Workshop Opportunity

Open For Business Workshop

Dear Friend,

California’s 3.4 million small businesses are critical to the state’s recovering economy. In fact, those with fewer than 100 employees comprise 97% of all businesses in California and they are responsible for employing more than 37% of all in-state workers. That’s why I’m celebrating Small Business Week this May 12-16 by highlighting the impacts small business owners have on our state and the resources that help keep them thriving.

Small business owners, entrepreneurs, or those interested in starting a business are encouraged to register for my Open for Business half-day workshop on Friday, May 9th. This event is sponsored by my office, Sacramento State, and the Sacramento Metro Chamber.

Friday, May 9th
8:30am – 12pm
