A Heartfelt Thank You! What an incredible experience and success our first in-person event was at the National 8(a) Small Business Conference in NOLA last week! We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to making it such a remarkable event. A special thank you to all the small business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals who joined us. We had over 130 attendees join our session! Your energy, passion, and engagement to connect made this event truly memorable. A huge shout-out to our generous sponsors Optimized Technical Solutions, Inc., MMC Consulting, GovPort, and Fearless Institute - Hutch for making this event possible. Your support not only helped bring us together but also highlighted the importance of fostering relationships within the small business community. And to our amazing speakers, Joshua Frank, Shomari Wade, and Alexa Tsui thank you for sharing your insights, strategies, and expertise. You’ve left us all with valuable tools and knowledge to continue growing our businesses and expanding our networks. Michael LeJeune wasn’t able to join us this time, but I’m sure we’ll all be looking for him next time! Last but not least, a special thanks to our MC, Richard D. Hanks for spearheading the night! We also couldn’t have done it without our ladies, Alyssa Martinez, Granita Griffin, and Jennifer Hanks, CFCM, NCMA Fellow, and gentlemen Brent Barnes and Travis Griffin! THANK YOU ALL! This event was a reminder of the power of community and the strength of small businesses especially during this time. We’re excited for the future and the connections we’ll build as we continue this initiative TOGETHER! 🤜🤛 Thank you again to everyone who made this 8(a) at 8AM event such a success. Here’s to many more networking opportunities and collaborations ahead! 🗓️ Next 8(a) at 8AM monthly meeting will be held virtually on Monday, March 10, 2025 at 8:00AM EST. See you there! #SmallBusiness #Networking #Community #Entrepreneurs #ThankYou #BusinessGrowth
