Empowered Connections: Celebrating Excellence

In honor of Black History Month, we're bringing together entrepreneurs, community leaders, and support organizations to explore how collaboration drives business growth and economic impact. Business owners will gain practical insights, learn about local small business resources, and connect with peers working to build stronger businesses and communities.

Through a dynamic panel, fireside chats, and interactive breakout sessions, attendees will hear real-world experiences, access guidance on capital and technical assistance, and leave with actionable strategies and expanded networks to support long-term success.

• How collaboration across communities can drive business growth
• Real-world insights from local business leaders
• Information on business resources available through the Hispanic Chamber and ECDI
• Practical guidance on accessing capital, technical assistance, and growth support
• Opportunities to connect and collaborate during interactive breakout sessions

All are welcome to this event celebrating excellence in our Greater Dayton community!

This Black History Month, we honor the role of collaboration and community in shaping economic opportunity. Join us to learn, connect, and invest in the continued growth of businesses across Greater Dayton—register today.

The Economic & Community Development Institute's Women's Business Centers of Ohio guide individuals at any stage of the business process. Through one-on-one counseling sessions with WBC staff and volunteers, you can get the direction and resources to meet your goals. Business advisers want to help you successfully start a business, or grow and expand your existing business -- increasing revenue and creating jobs for the local economy.
