SBAN staff help connect members to experts, resources, and other members doing similar work. We seek member feedback on useful programming and encourage members to share updates, news, and events with the network.

We support connections and collaboration among our members.

Members have access to the SBAN member directory and member listserv, where they can ask questions, share resources, discuss challenges, and promote events. Members come together at our virtual summits, in-person conferences, site visits, and smaller in-person gatherings.

SBAN hosts a national in-person conference every other year and a virtual summit in the off years.

We convene to identify challenges facing small businesses and share knowledge about effective policies and practices. At our gatherings, members strategize ways to advocate for new policies across diverse regions.

SBAN regularly hosts member-exclusive webinars on topics of common interest across the network, such as access to capital, commercial lease protections, antitrust policy, the changing DEI landscape, and utilizing small business data.
