Dear Texas Small Businesses,
As the Small Business Advocate within the Governor’s Office of Texas Economic Development & Tourism, I am excited to announce the schedule for the upcoming 2023 Governor’s Small Business Summits.
There are more than 3.1 million small businesses in Texas and these businesses employ nearly half of our workforce. With the Governor's Small Business Summits, our goal is to provide Texas small business owners with information and resources to take their business to new heights while also helping those who are looking to get started on their entrepreneurial journey.
Throughout 2023, our office will travel to 15 different cities across the Lone Star State. This gives us the opportunity to meet with business owners face-to-face, while providing you the opportunity to network with other business owners and meet experts who will share timely, relevant and actionable advice on a multitude of small business topics.
Below you’ll find more information about the upcoming events and where we are headed this year. Be sure to continue to check our website as we announce additional information on locations, speakers and registration information for the 2023 Governor’s Small Business Summits, as well as additional events and webinars.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our many events!
Sincerely,
Jarvis L. Brewer
