While we realize you were not able to join us at the recent forum Small Business and Entrepreneurship during an Economic Recovery, we did want to reach out to you to let you know that we have now posted materials (video clips, transcripts, and speaker presentations) from the event to the Federal Reserve Board’s website, viewable by clicking here.
This forum brought together experts from a range of disciplines to share their perspectives on small business issues, including ideas around the financing and technical needs of small businesses and entrepreneurs, and the important role these firms are playing in creating jobs during the current economic environment. It was also organized to address some of the unique issues and challenges faced by women- and minority-owned firms as a way to identify research, policy, and practice recommendations to better support these groups.
Our work is not done on these issues and we appreciate any feedback that you might have. Along with the Kauffman Foundation, the Federal Reserve System will continue to build upon this work and we hope that you will keep us informed about your efforts to provide support to the small business community.
