Join the Orange County Inland Empire SBDC Network for the first #SBDCDay on March 22nd, a national celebration of the impact SBDCs make across the nation and on the small business community.

This endeavor will unite nearly 1,000 SBDC centers across the nation and thousands of small business owners as they share via social media, in real time, their stories and the impacts SBDCs have made on the small business community. We have invited our partners, advocates, staff and clients to celebrate #SBDCDay with us by sharing via social media how your local SBDC in Orange County or the Inland Empire has impacted your business and your community.
