A MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT AND CEO
Dear Friends,
Entrepreneurs in the Indianapolis region are launching – and running – profitable companies, making money and creating jobs. Small business is big business and as we work together to strengthen our regional economy, the focus on the impact of the small business continues to intensify.
Here at the Indy Chamber, we have worked hard to sharpen the tools in our entrepreneur services toolkit so that we are fully equipped to help you find the resources you need to start your business and make it thrive. Whether you have an idea for a business or are a small business owner in need of some expert advice on money management, business planning, marketing or even microlending, the Indy Chamber should be your first stop on the road to success.
On this front, we are pleased to have announced the recent addition of the Central Indiana Small Business Development Center (C-ISBDC) to the Indy Chamber family. The C-ISBDC is now co-located within the Indy Chamber, bringing with them an expanded resource center for small business. You can learn more about this partnership on page 11.
We have created this issue, our first-ever e-edition of Catalyst magazine with the small business owner in mind. From tips on how to grow your business using social media
(page 10) to navigating financial pitfalls (page 4), this edition of Catalyst has something for the entrepreneur at every stage.
Also, don’t forget to check out our calendar of events and workshops (page 17) aimed at helping you grow your network and your bottom line. You can visit
indychamber.com/events for more information and to register.
Thank you for all you do to help support and grow our business community and as always, thank you for your support of the Indy Chamber.
Sincerely,
Michael Huber,
President and CEO
Indy Chamber
