Pathways for Prosperity:
SERCAP's Community Economic Development (CED) Initiative for Entrepreneurs
What is "Pathways for Prosperity"?
"Pathways for Prosperity: SERCAP's Community Economic Development Planning Initiative for Entrepreneurs" is SERCAP's way of figuring out how we can best help small business owners in Burke and Wilkes, GA grow their businesses and provide good jobs for the community.
Why should I attend the meetings?
Many reasons!
First, it allows us to get to know the people behind the local businesses and how we can best help you.
Second, there will be opportunities to connect with fellow (and local) entrepreneurs.
Third, if there are enough registrations for the meetings, food will be provided.
SERCAP is a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) by the US Department of Treasury.
