California Black Chamber of Commerce Economic Business Summit 2025

Most small business owners do not have a dedicated human resources department to navigate the healthcare policies, paid leave programs, and regulations that larger companies have the resources to manage. Yet, healthcare remains one of the most significant challenges — and opportunities — for small business success.

Please join Small Business Majority at the California Black Chamber of Commerce Economic Business Summit 2025 for a morning presentation on why healthcare is a small business issue and how recent advocacy efforts around immigration and workforce policy impact entrepreneurs across California. 

Topics of discussion include:

• Overview of Covered California and recent changes impacting small business owners 
• Updates on California’s Paid Family Leave program and Paid Sick Leave laws 
• Technical assistance available to help business owners navigate changing laws, access capital and understand healthcare

This interactive session will help business owners, advocates, and community leaders understand the policy landscape and learn actionable ways to engage in advocacy that supports a healthier, more resilient small business ecosystem.
