KYCC’s FamilySource Center and Community Economic Development, in collaboration with US Bank, recently organized a three-part workshop series aimed at supporting local entrepreneurs. We were privileged to host expert guest speakers from US Bank—Lizbeth Da Broy, Business Access Advisor, and Flory Martinez Financial Education Project Manager—who shared valuable knowledge on financial management and networking. Our attendees left empowered with essential tools to expand their businesses.

The workshop objective was to empower small business owners, street vendors, and entrepreneurs in our community by providing essential knowledge on financial management and networking. More than 60 entrepreneurs took part in the series, enhancing their skills and business strategies, and gaining the tools needed to start, grow, or improve their businesses.

“At KYCC, we are committed to equipping small business owners and street vendors with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive. By partnering with industry experts like US Bank, we ensure that our entrepreneurs receive the most accurate and relevant financial guidance. These collaborations are key to strengthening our community’s economic development and empowering business owners to make informed decisions for their future.” says Vanessa, Small Business Program Coordinator.

Understanding that strong partnerships are essential for providing top-notch education, this collaboration with industry experts such as US Bank, guarantees that our small business community can gain access to trustworthy, practical, and professional financial advice. Collaborative efforts like these help us build a stronger, more resilient small business community.
