A WNY Business & Funding Webinar to update small business owners regarding a variety of services available to them during the pandemic and beyond — with an emphasis on funding resources — will take place from 3 to 4 P.M. on Tuesday, July 14. The Small Business Subcommittee of the Erie County Business Task Force will host the meeting, the first in a series of monthly webinars that will showcase business service providers and tools available to local small businesses.

Speakers scheduled during the Zoom event include Dr. Susan McCartney, Director of the Small Business Development Center (“SBDC”) at SUNY Buffalo State; Beth O’Keefe and Jerry Manhard of the Erie County Industrial Development Agency (“ECIDA”); and a representative from the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (“LISC”).

Speakers will update attendees on their organization, spread awareness of their program(s) and offer next steps for more information. A Q&A session will immediately follow the speakers. The ultimate goal of the meeting is to help local businesses survive and ultimately thrive during the ongoing pandemic.
