Huge kudos to the Florida SBDC Network for hosting the 2024 Small Business Success Summit! Greg Britton’s Team doing a fantastic job as always bringing relevant discussion and learning opportunities to the many ESO’s in attendance as well as other champions for the FL Entrepreneurial Community. Thank you also to J. Alex Kelly, Cathy Chambers, Jack Henkel and many others for their involvement and support. My favorite statistic so far is from Jerry D. Parrish, Ph.D. — businesses w less than 100 employees create more than 60% of the net new jobs in our country 👏 Jose Molfino Cesar Gomez Florida SBDC at UCF Lake Economic Area Development (LEAD) Partnership Lake County Economic Development UCF Business Incubation Program Florida High Tech Corridor Evelyn Reyes Frederick Morris
