SBA announces Web chat series

Business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs can engage in a national dialogue about the issues that matter to them most beginning July 21. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced that it will hold a live Web chat series for small business owners.

The series will provide business owners with the opportunity to exchange views on relevant business issues with real-world industry leaders and successful entrepreneurs. Participants will converse online in real time, having direct access to the Web chats via questions they will provide, and be able to receive instant answers to their questions.

Kicking off the first chat will be J. Scott Plank, chief administrative officer of Under Armour Performance Apparel, on Thursday, July 21, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. PDT). The Web chat will focus on “Entrepreneurship: Innovative Strategies for Small Business Growth.”

Plank will share the his story of helping build a multimillion-dollar business with other entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners, and will provide insight on the successes and challenges of entrepreneurship.

Participants can join the live Web chat by going online to www.sba.gov, and clicking “Your Small Business Voice Live Online.” Plank will answer questions for approximately one hour. Participants may also post a question for Plank before the July 21 Web chat by visiting the same Web page and posting their question online. The live Web chats will be held monthly on a variety of small business topics. For details on future live Web chats, go to www.sba.gov.
