Conversation & Connection

Join us for an evening of meaningful civic engagement as we welcome NC House - District 60 candidate Joe Alston to Lounge on Main for Conversation & Connection — a community-focused gathering centered on how economic stability is strengthened through small business growth and entrepreneurship.

Set for Monday, February 2nd from 5:30–7:30 PM, this event creates space for dialogue, ideas, and relationship-building between community members, local business leaders, and the candidate. Through open discussion, the candidate will explore how small business ownership fuels economic mobility, job creation, long-term neighborhood vitality and how policy can better support those ecosystems.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Learn more about the candidate’s vision for North Carolina’s economic future

• Share stories and perspectives as entrepreneurs, consumers, and community advocates

• Connect with other small business champions in an intimate, relaxed environment

• Discuss barriers and opportunities surrounding entrepreneurship and local commerce

Designed as both a listening session and a networking experience, Conversation & Connection highlights the vital role small businesses play in driving community stability — and the importance of civic leadership that understands and invests in them.
