This Small Business Issues Forum is one of a series of events that are being held throughout the state by the State of Florida Office of Small Business Advocate and the Florida SBDC Network during March, April and May.  These forums are open to small business owners, organizations that represent small businesses, and government officials.  The goal of these forums is to compile a list of the top issues and concerns facing the state's small businesses and to develop a corresponding list of possible solutions.
While there is no registration fee, anyone who is planning to attend the forum is asked to complete the online registration form at http://floridaosba.org/.    Limited seating is available, so registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.  In order to ensure that each participant is able to present his/her concerns and ideas, a time limit may be imposed on public comments made at the forum.
