Learn more about the application process on the One Buncombe website. Applications are open through June 30th. This loan is only available for entrepreneurs of color. |

Tickets on sale through June 28, 2020We know how completely odd it seems to be raffling off a trip to London right now. We’re barely leaving our homes for any reason, so jetting off around the world seems flat out bonkers! We’re hopeful that international travel and fun vacations will happen again in the future – and that’s why we extended and amended the raffle prize! If you win, you can choose the trip to London (and you have 18 months to book your travel) OR you can choose to take the cash value of the trip instead ($10,000). Our raffles have been important fundraisers for ACT over the years, and this one is no different. ACT has lost 85% of our income as an organization, so this raffle is one of the few ways we can continue to bring a little money in the door. Buying a raffle ticket is a great way to support ACT right now – and it just might be you who gets some really great news from us! |
Opening day for ECTM at our new location at AB Tech Enka. We will be in the parking lot of the Small Business Center, 1465 Sand Hill Road (across from Ingles, at the traffic light). Please share and invite your friends and family! We know this second season of ECTM is going to be amazing. Thank you for supporting local!

| Don’t leave for a holiday vacation or staycation without taking time to connect once more with your colleagues in the business community!
Our Business After Hours is still virtual, but there’s time for quality contacts and sharing of great ideas. We’ll break into small groups to engage each other in conversation; be prepared to socialize and share thoughts about what’s going on in your world — work-related or not! We’ll throw in a few fun questions to get everyone started. If you’d like to contribute a door prize, let us know when you register so we can be prepared to recognize you! A list of all attendees registered will be shared with everyone following the event. Not so sure about the Zoom format? Here’s what one participant had to say: “I really like these virtual breakouts. I meet people I wouldn’t have met; it feels just structured enough, but still comfortable.” |
