Join us for an engaging peer-learning meeting featuring the Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations and Community Development Partnership. They will showcase the impact of Massachusetts’ Small Business Technical Assistance (SBTA) program, highlighting how statewide advocacy and strategic use of public funding fuels equitable small business growth. 

Gain insights into the broader policy landscape and statewide coordination efforts and offer an on-the-ground perspective of SBTA implementation. Learn how community development corporations are supporting entrepreneurs through hands-on technical assistance, collaboration with funders and lenders, and engagement with local legislators. Connect with peers in a personal format to share learnings, best practices, and resources for successful SBTA work.
Registration is limited. To promote personal engagement, we are limiting the number of participants for each meeting.
