It’s simple: I believe that Small Business Matters! My passion is helping growth-minded small business owners reach their highest level of success, and every element of my work is dedicated to that purpose. That’s why I was a Vistage Chair to some of the most successful CEOs in Atlanta for over sixteen years. It’s why in 2013 I launched the Small Business Matters Conference, which has become an all-star, exclusive gathering that attracts some of the best small business owners in the state. And it’s why I’m a tireless advocate for small businesses, every single day.Each year, I celebrate small business with the Small Business Matters Conference, gathering my tribe and beyond to dedicate a day to the development and success of the businesses that drive the U.S. economy. Small business stimulates international trade, helps the young get started, and encourages innovation.I’m proud to support small business.
