How Government Can Better Communicate with Small Businesses

A Highlight from the upcoming NAGC Communications
School.

Small businesses have generated more than 60
percent of all new jobs in the past 17 years. Federal agencies play a major
role helping small businesses succeed with government-backed loans, grants for
cutting edge technologies, tax breaks, and training and counseling through
SBA’s resource partners. What can you as a government communicator do to
improve communications with small businesses? Learn more at “How Government Can
Better Communicate with Small Businesses,” a seminar to be presented by Eva
Neumann, president and chief executive officer of ENC Strategy.

This session
will teach you how the federal government engages with small businesses to meet
their goals and help bring innovations to the marketplace. “How Government Can
Better Communicate with Small Businesses” will be held April 18 at 11:15 a.m.
at the 2013 NAGC Communications School, April 17-19, at the Pentagon City
Sheraton in Arlington, Va. Check out the complete agenda and register to attend
