SBAN’s Inaugural Conference: Finding Strength in Numbers
SBAN’s inaugural conference brought together more than 300 gentrification experts, community leaders, researchers and policy advocates for one of the first national conferences to address the challenges confronting BIPOC- and immigrant-owned small businesses and work on solutions to keep them thriving in the face of neighborhood change, as recapped in an article for the University of Maryland’s School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation.
“Our hope for this conference is to bring our member organizations and other small business leaders from across the country together to share new ideas, success stories and challenges about how to keep small business in place,” SBAN Director Willow Lung-Amam said.
