\nSmall businesses contribute an estimate 47 percent of U.S. employment and serve as the primary vehicle of wealth creation for minorities and women nationwide. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, research shows that businesses in communities of color were the most\n cash-constrained but the least likely to have existing relationships with large banks, playing a role in keeping them out of recovery efforts. Today, minorities and women still index high in business startups and entrepreneurship initiatives despite the various\n liquidity constraints and limited access to credit.<\/p>\n

\nOur presenters will share how financial institutions, non-profits and community-based organizations can encourage the development of a \u201cPath to Prosperity\u201d by incentivizing unbanked and under-banked small business owners and individuals to establish a relationship\n with an insured financial institution and\/or accessing financial services.<\/p>\n

\nThis virtual summit will focus on the southern United States and we will be hearing from experts in the banking and lending industry, community partners, government contracting officers, and Asian American and Native Hawaiian\/Pacific Islander-owned small businesses\n engaged in healthcare services.<\/p>\n

\n“Path to Prosperity” is brought to you by the SBA, FDIC and USDA, and is a regional business development series.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThis NO-COST, virtual event will focus on the southern United States. “Path to Prosperity” will
\nconsist of panel discussions comprised of economic, lending and government contracting experts. There will be facilitated conversations, sharing best practices, and innovative solutions.<\/p>\n
