Small Business Symposium Highlights the Government Arena

Recently the chapter hosted a Small Business Symposium focused on helping small businesses take the next step in the government arena. Richard Yeargin gave the opening motivational speech, and the keynote was given by Tracey Grace, president and CEO of IBEX IT Business Experts.

Breakout sessions and a panel on "The Business of Government" boasted representatives from different government sectors, and a social networking session capped off the day.

This event, the second in the chapter's Small Business Series following last year's Roundtable Workshop, allowed members to engage directly with speakers, panelists and sponsors to glean knowledge and help companies move to the next level. The event brought in many new members and re-energized a few more. Following this success, the Small Business Committee led by Stacy Vaughn and Kurt Schmid is already planning the next steps.
