4th Annual East Tampa Business Symposium Set
BY GWEN HAYES Sentinel Editor
The 4th Annual East Tampa Small Business Sym- posium is coming to Tampa on Saturday, September 24, 2016, 9 a. m. – 3 p. m. The free community event will be held at Hillsborough Commu- nity College, Ybor Campus (Tampa 33605).
The symposium is being sponsored by Central Florida Community Planning and De- velopment along with the support of the City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, govern- ment officials and some of the best technological minds in the area.
The purpose of this event is to give entrepreneurs and small business owners in Tampa free actionable infor- mation that will help them start a business, grow a busi- ness they have already started or take an already successful small business to the next level, states Ms. Carrol Josephs-Marshall, chair- person of this event.
There will be an opportu- nity for business owners to network with their peers and there will be experts volun- teering their time to teach classes, answer questions and offer insights which they nor- mally only give to paying cus- tomers.
“Our goal is to introduce small businesses to organiza- tions, shareholders and processes that will help them grow exponentially in a short period of time. We believe that helping these businesses on a path to prolonged suc- cess will lead to more jobs
and
economic stability for the re- gion. This Small Business Symposium will be a strong step in the right direction for our long term goals which in- clude: a safe and livable com- munity, balanced residential and commercial development and creating an identifiable role for East Tampa in the Tampa Bay Area economy,” Mrs. Josephs-Marshall further explained.
