Chamber Luncheon with
Scott Leslie, Director
Small Business Development Center

Join us for our February Monthly Luncheon with the member the Del Paso Boulevard Partnership as we welcome Director of the Capital Region Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Scott Leslie!

Along with the Partnership, we are subsidizing the cost of this program because it is that important for you as a business owner to know about the services of the SBDC - they can connect you, often at no cost, to help in operations, planning, financing, and more.  Read some of the results of the SBDC helping businesses over the first two years below - very compelling.  

Housed and administered by the Sacramento Metro Chamber, in collaboration with Sacramento State and other partners in the region (like the North Sacramento Chamber of Commerce), the SBDC is a resource for growing small businesses and the entrepreneur ready to get a new business started. In just two years, the SBDC has:

• counseled 1,394 individuals,
• helped create 73 NEW businesses,
• created 320 jobs and retained 186, and
• assisted in securing 119 loans or equity investments resulting in $21.4 million in capital infusion right here in the Capital Region.
