This year, Center of Hope CDC is excited to welcome local entrepreneurs to the Hope Small Business Fair, an initiative of the BE3 Program’s Business Incubation Division and part of Center of Hope’s This Is Us Series. With this year’s theme of “Agency,” the Small Business Fair provides a practical opportunity to put that theme into action—encouraging individuals to recognize their ability to create, build, and contribute to their community.
The Hope Small Business Fair reflects Center of Hope CDC’s commitment to helping entrepreneurs cultivate their business ideas, strengthen their businesses, and pursue their vision for economic growth. The event is more than a vending opportunity—it is an opportunity to build relationships, increase visibility, connect with resources, and participate in a broader entrepreneurial community.
Over the past five years, Center of Hope CDC has hosted successful small business events that have brought together more than 700 attendees, 60 small businesses, 20 corporate partners, and four educational workshops. Through these events, the CDC has worked to create opportunities for entrepreneurs to gain visibility, build relationships, learn, and contribute to the economic vitality of our community. The Hope Small Business Fair is designed with the Center of Hope community at its heart, while encouraging participating vendors to welcome and invite members of their own networks to join us.
