Publishers Perspective: Why the 10,000 Small Businesses Summit Matters for Local Entrepreneurs
As publisher and executive director of the Equality Business Alliance- San Diego’s oldest equality chamber- I want to share how the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Summit provides critical support and resources for local business owners in San Diego. The summit brings together entrepreneurs from across the country to share experiences, exchange ideas, and engage directly with policymakers, including members of Congress, on issues that affect small businesses—from economic pressures and supply chain challenges to taxation and regulation.
Beyond providing insights and strategies, the summit fosters collaboration and mentorship among business owners, helping them navigate challenges while driving growth and innovation. With thousands of participants, the event creates a national platform where local voices are heard, ensuring that the realities of markets like San Diego’s are represented in discussions that shape policy and economic initiatives.
For business leaders like Jason Coleman and many others, attending the summit is not only an opportunity to learn and connect but also a chance to advocate for the local community. Events like this reinforce the importance of engaged leadership, collaboration, and optimism in sustaining the growth and resilience of San Diego’s diverse business landscape.
As a small business owner and advocate, I applaud Jason for his commitment to a resilient San Diego and for highlighting how national initiatives like this summit impact our local economy. Continued engagement between local entrepreneurs and policymakers will be essential to ensuring the strength and success of our business community.
