Capacity Builders Workshop

Join us for Capacity Building for Capacity Builders, a full-day workshop on June 6 that will bring together more than 100 attendees from Chicago’s minority business technical assistance and capacity building ecosystem. Participants will share best practices, lessons learned, and strategies for success around cultivating an equitable entrepreneurial ecosystem of economic support.

Sponsored by Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business, this capacity building workshop is being developed in partnership with capacity builders to support collaboration, networking, and fostering meaningful connections. The event will also provide professional development opportunities to amplify equitable economic development efforts in underserved communities.
