It’s National Small Business Week! At the National level, the SBA has three days of live online programming to support startups and small businesses. At the local level, Mentor Sacramento Office Hour Sprint is happening on Wednesday from 11:30-1:00 but you must apply by today, September 13, to participate.

I encourage you to check out the full schedule on the SBA’s website but here are a few that looked especially valuable: Winning in eCommerce with Email Marketing (Mon 9/13 at 12:25 pm), Access to Capital for Women Entrepreneurs (Tue 9/14 at 8 am), Unlocking the Doors to Access for Black-Owned Businesses: Funders and Founders Share Their Real-Life Stories (Tue 9/14 at 9:45 am), and Accelerate Your Small Business Success by Selling Online (Wed 9/15 at 10:10 am).
