SUMMARY:Community Conversation: Small Business Voices
DESCRIPTION:As the Ness School of Management & Economics at SDSU deepens its presence in the Sioux Falls region\, we’re turning outward – listening first to the community to guide what comes next. This event is part of a multi-session Listening Tour focused on hearing from small businesses\, startups\, nonprofits\, and other local partners who help drive regional growth. \nJoin us for Small Business Voices\, a conversation designed to listen\, learn\, and collaborate – think of it as a focus group meets community roundtable. Small businesses are at the heart of Sioux Falls’ success and so are the people and partners who support them. If that’s you\, this session is for you! \nWe’ll discuss challenges\, explore opportunities\, and uncover ways the Ness School can plug in to help move the Sioux Falls Region forward. Your experiences\, insights and ideas will help shape the programs\, workshops\, and collaborations developed through the Ness School’s outpost at Startup Sioux Falls. \nThey say there’s no such thing as a free lunch – except on Tuesday\, November 18. Lunch will be served at 11:30 AM\, with discussion beginning promptly at noon. \nAttendance is capped at 15 to keep the dialogue personal and meaningful. Register now to share your story\, connect with other leaders\, and help guide the Ness Schools work to impact the region. \nBecause the best ideas don’t start in a boardroom — they start in conversations like this one.
