Promotion

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 is currently serving as co-chair, and the promotion subcommittee is currently seeking a second co-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. For other questions, contact the chair, Allison Crowther at acrowthe@ksu.edu.
