Voice to Action Summit

Dear Partners, 

We wanted to share the final information for the Voice to Action Summit happening tomorrow and now hosted virtually over Zoom! We are excited to bring together such a wide range of partners to create a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem in Los Angeles County. Speakers, panels, and co-planning sessions will focus on the expressed needs of local business owners, develop action steps to better address those needs, and connect solutions with the resources to bring them to life.

DATE: Thursday | October 26th, 2023

TIME: 11am -1pm

LOCATION: VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM > Be sure to register to access the zoom link!

The event will be deeply interactive and welcoming to all: your insights and perspectives will be vital to decide steps forward on resource directories and collaboration systems that deepen our collective capacity to serve businesses that have historically fallen outside the reach of service providers.
