To celebrate Women?s Equality Day, the U.S. Small Business Administration will host a virtual fireside chat on Thursday, August 26 at 2 p.m. ET with SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman and Assistant Administrator Natalie Madeira Cofield to discuss how SBA is empowering and supporting women entrepreneurs. The event will be streamed on Facebook and YouTube.

The number of women entrepreneurs is growing to unprecedented levels, and SBA has resources to help women small business owners survive and thrive during the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes Women?s Business Centers, which provide free counseling and training to women entrepreneurs across America. Last week, SBA issued 14 grant awards of up to $200,000 each to organizations in 13 states.
