"Our economic success leads to more power and influence, which, in turn, drives further progress for our Latinx community," wrote ALPFA Boston. In line with this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month’s theme of prosperity, power, and progress, this event brought together the Latinx small business community for an event that aimed to foster connections, provide learning opportunities, and create a platform for collaboration within the small Latina/o/x business community.
Attendees heard a range of success stories from industry experts who shared insights, advice, and strategies related to small business growth, challenges, and opportunities. More than a dozen financial institutions and community lending organizations were available to meet with business owners and entrepreneurs to provide resources and help the businesses grow.
Throughout the event, entrepreneurs had the opportunity to network, gain valuable knowledge, and engage with small business lenders to find solutions to support their business endeavors, learn about new tools and resources, and explore potential partnerships.
