AABA – Small Business Re-Entry Success
Oct 18 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
online

The US Small Business Administration and the Western Women’s Business Center will deliver a second chance workshop. The workshop is for those who have been incarcerated and want that second chance at being an entrepreneur and giving back to their community. We start by saying it’s not an easy path, but one must know their options to make changes. We will share why fixing your credit score is key and then how to hone in on what it takes to run a business, what goes into the business plan, and how to access capital. Our goal is to show you how you can turn the skills you had or the ones that you learned while incarcerated into making a better future for yourself. Find out how to turn those acquired skills gained from beauty/barber courses, culinary classes, computer classes, writing, business courses and more into a future.

Building Our City: Small Scale Development Matters Now More Than Ever
Nov 2 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
The Collider

Building Our City: Small Scale Development Matters Now More Than Ever

With climate change, automobile dependency, and rising costs for housing and transportation, America needs to reverse suburban sprawl and focus again on our cities and small towns now more than ever. This won’t happen to any meaningful extent without small scale development, and lots of it. Zoning reform and incremental development education will be key to making it happen.

In this session, you’ll learn about how Buffalo’s 2017 zoning overhaul made a walkable, transit friendly development legal again. We will talk about how it is helping enable small scale projects, create wealth for working people, and rebuild a legacy Great Lakes city that despite losing half of its population from 1950 to 2010, is now America’s fastest growing Rust Belt city.

Doors open at 5:30pm and the session begins at 6pm.

Building Our City is presented by The Grove Arcade Public Market Foundation with support from Kimpton Hotel Arras. The series is produced by the Asheville Downtown Association Foundaiton and Urban3

The WomanUP celebration on Nov. 3rd is the event of the year for women in business.

Connect with hundreds of Asheville/Buncombe women in business.

Celebrate outstanding women in our business community. Over 50 women have been nominated for this year’s WomanUP awards. Together, we’ll honor these amazing WomanUP award nominees and celebrate this year’s winners.

Be inspired by Caroline Wanga’s keynote. You’ll see why her witty “real-talk” style and insights make her a highly sought-after keynote speaker, equity strategist, thought leader, and community influencer.

Wanga is the Chief Executive Officer of ESSENCE, the number one media, technology and commerce company dedicated to Black women and communities. She joined ESSENCE after serving as former Chief Culture, Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Target.

Her keynote promises to inspire us to live into our authentic selves and create work environments that embrace the authenticity of all.
