On Tuesday, March 10, 2015, NOMA Workspaces hosted a free Small Business Workshop for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. It was a chance for participants to network and learn from their peers. We want to make sure you are keeping up with your 2015 business goals. Participants learned tips on a variety of topics. From government funding to social media, they were given tools to help their business grow. David White (Vice President of Business, Wells Fargo) and Alexandra Piotrowski (Small Business Administration) spoke to the group about the Three C's: Capital, Counseling, and Contracting. Red Bull, goDCgo, and the Washington Business Journal all brought resources and information to the event.
Break out groups included:
Polina Bakhteiarov and Sandra Gomez (Great Streets) on defining and identifying grant opportunities and city resources and how businesses apply for the Great Streets program.
Shara A. Gibson (DC Department of Small and Local Business Development) on
leveraging partnerships and relationships.
TaKeyia Monique (C.E.O., Haute Hipster Media) on growing your business utilizing social media.
