Program Description
Event Details
Each month HCLS co-hosts an online Roundtable focusing on a local business owned by a Person of Color in Howard County. The owner shares the experiences and challenges they face as a local business owner. Learn what it takes to start your own successful business. Ask questions of people who own a local business. Maybe it will inspire you to start your own!
The discussion is moderated by Nat Alston, Chair and Founder of the Ujamaa Business Roundtable. Jinal Contractor, Small and Minority Business Development Officer, Howard County Economic Development Authority (HCEDA) will also join the Roundtable to share the many internal and external resources that Howard County offers to small and minority entrepreneurs. The Business Roundtable normally meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month. Includes time for Q&A.
Our Business Roundtable guest for June will be announced soon.
In partnership with Ujamaa Business Roundtable, a roundtable of African-American business owners from the counties of Howard, Montgomery, Prince George's, Baltimore and Baltimore City.
