Commissioner Britney Thornton, the youngest County Commissioner ever elected in Shelby County, is launching an exciting initiative called "Small Business Big Year" on February 27th. This groundbreaking program is designed to empower local entrepreneurs and small business owners in District 10, offering a unique opportunity for growth and development.

The "Small Business Big Year" initiative is a six-week virtual cohort program that will run every Thursday from 4 PM to 6 PM. Participants will benefit from weekly guest speakers, invaluable networking opportunities, and a chance to compete in a pitch competition with various incentives. The first 30 registrants will receive "The Business Blueprint Planner," a $60 value, absolutely free.

Now, more than ever, local business owners need to step up their game. In today's rapidly evolving economic landscape, small businesses face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. This program aims to equip entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in this competitive environment.

Why This Matters

  1. Credentialing for Funding: The initiative emphasizes the importance of proper credentialing, which is crucial for accessing funding, especially for minority-owned businesses. This focus can open doors to financial opportunities that were previously out of reach.
  2. Networking and Collaboration: By bringing together entrepreneurs from District 10, the program fosters a supportive community where business owners can share experiences, challenges, and solutions.
  3. Expert Guidance: Weekly guest speakers will provide insights and advice from seasoned professionals, giving participants access to a wealth of knowledge and experience.
  4. Pitch Competition: The culminating pitch competition offers a platform for entrepreneurs to refine their business ideas and potentially secure additional resources to fuel their growth.

Commissioner Thornton's initiative reflects her commitment to fostering economic development and supporting the diverse community she represents. As a young, educated African American woman, she brings a fresh perspective to local government and understands the unique challenges faced by small business owners in her district.
