About this Event

Have you ever wanted to engage in policy issues impacting small businesses in Illinois but don’t know where to begin? Join Representative Rita Mayfield, Tasha Brown, Illinois Director of Small Business Majority, Larvetta Loftin of the L3 Agency, Illinois Small Business Development Center, a coalition of advocacy organizations, and other business service organizations for a Lunch and Learn. This event is designed for small business owners, business service organizations, funders, and all who want to learn how to make their voices heard on critical issues like predatory lending, access to capital, and fair business policies.

You'll gain valuable insights on:

  • How to become a small business advocate and impact change in the state legislature
  • Best practices for reaching out to policymakers and legislators
  • Strategies to engage with the media and secure a successful interview
  • Current legislation and policy issues that affect small business owners in Illinois

Join us for this important conversation during Women's History Month, where we will highlight how women entrepreneurs and small business advocates have worked together to push for meaningful policy changes.
