Entrepreneurs' Forum of Greater Philadelphia

Want new opportunities to grow your business?

As you’ve heard, with great change comes opportunity. The new and expansive financial regulatory reform legislation, the Dodd-Frank Act, is ushering in sweeping changes, and, at the same time, creating sources of new and expanded opportunities for your business. How can you maximize these opportunities enabled by the new legislation? Also, how can you acquire financing to continue to grow your business?

Our program will focus on new and expanded procurement opportunities for minority businesses as a result of the reform legislation, and will highlight financing opportunities through banks, the SBA, and community development financial institutions.

Program Outline:

• Network with peers and program speakers during a reception.
• Find out how the Dodd Frank Act’s Office of Minority and Women Inclusion enhances your procurement opportunities.
• Find out how to bid for new business.
• Learn about programs from the SBA and how to access bank financing.
• Discover your opportunities for financing from community development financial institutions.

In addition to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, co-sponsors of the program include the Urban League of Philadelphia, the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Asian American Chamber of Commerce, the Hispanic Association of Contractors and Enterprises, the National Association of Minority Contractors - Philadelphia Chapter, the Minority Supplier Development Council, the Minority Business Enterprise Center and the Business Center for Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprise.
