Small Business Roundtable Series
The National ACE small business in-person roundtable series gives local Asian American & Pacific Islander business owners an opportunity to discuss and network with key elected officials and corporate leaders on current business issues that affect them directly. These roundtable sessions encourage open discussions on the current state of business, the effects of COVID and anti-AAPI hate, policy, and the recovery of AAPI businesses in their local markets.
