The promotion subcommittee meets monthly and communicates via a listserv. Meeting dates and log-in information are typically posted on the National SBEAP calendar and new or visiting members are always encouraged to attend. Crystal Warren (TN) is currently serving as the chair. For more information, contact Crystal at Crystal.Warren@tn.gov.
The purpose of the promotion subcommittee is to promote SBEAPs and their work by creating, collecting and sharing materials and resources, as well as pre-written content such as newsletter articles and social media posts. The subcommittee also -
- fosters partnerships with relevant groups such as regulatory agencies and trade associations to help small businesses connect with their SBEAPs
- encourages collaboration among SBEAPs in various ways so they can learn from one another’s work
- hosts the NSC Awards Program
- promotes and participates in Annual Training
- seeks ways to promote the SBEAP/SBO/CAP Annual Report
When possible, subcommittee members provide articles for the ASBO bulletin and Twitter content for @national_sbeap. Please use the guidelines for writing articles when submitting materials for the ASBO bulletin. Tweets can be prepared anytime and sent to info@nationalsbeap.org. See the Twitter guidelines if you have questions.
