SUCCESS PARTNERS BENEFITS

Business-to-Business Mentoring Program

Partnering larger business with smaller business provides an opportunity for "Life Lab" learning. Real-world experience can be shared and no value can be placed upon it. In addition, the Mentoring Program can also create future opportunities for small businesses to be utilized as subcontractors.

Business Workshops

Specialized workshop-targeting issues common to small/minority owned businesses. Topics such as applying for loans and other helpful tips are explored.

Networking session

A series of targeted networking events ("Partners of Possibility") will provide one-on-one time with decision-makers. Other municipalities and agencies will be invited to participate, expanding opportunities for the SBE members. The networking session will be divided into commodity/product groups to provide a more focused opportunity.
