Presented by Impact Hub SF, SOCAP 365,
the SF Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business University Series

                                                                                                                                

In order for the environment and culture of San Francisco to thrive, we need successful small businesses in our City. How do we ensure that happens? What policies and government systems support established and emerging small businesses? How do we advocate for small business and make sure that they can thrive in San Francisco? How can we protect and promote a healthy economy?

Join us to learn about the current political climate in San Francisco, and what organizations such as Kiva and la Cocina are doing to support the long-term success of small businesses in San Francisco.
