On August 17th, 2022, SBAC Empower and Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce hosted a Small Business Q&A Session for business owners and entrepreneurs. The topics included zoning, leasing, business licensing, financing, and more.
Birchwood Law’s Founding Attorney, Katarina Karac, served on the panel alongside other esteemed panelists, including City of Chicago’s Business Affairs and Consumer Protection Director, Max Budovitch, Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce’s Program Manager, Aja Metcalf (in place of Executive Director Felicia Slaton-Young), and Byline Bank’s Vice President of Business Banking, Tony Brylewski.
This is the second SBAC Empower Small Business Workshop for Birchwood Law (the first one was held earlier this year in conjunction with Logan Square Chamber of Commerce).
