Modeled after the city’s regional Civic Dinners, Snellville will host a series of Business Dinners which will serve as a forum for discussion on a variety business-related topics.

“City Councilman Dave Emanuel has had great success with the Civic Dinners he has hosted, so his suggestion to use a similar format to discuss topics of interest to local business owners, fit perfectly with our efforts to develop innovative ways to help Snellville business owners,” said Eric Van Otteren, director of Economic Development.

Snellville’s first Business Dinner will be held 6 to 8 p.m. April 10 at GarageWorx, 2385 Clower St.

Bruce LeVell of the Office of Advocacy for the U.S. Small Business Administration will attend to hear suggestions and insights about the challenges facing today’s small businesses. This is business leaders’ opportunity to voice concerns and provide feedback that will assist the Office of Advocacy in voicing the region’s small business concerns before the White House, federal agencies and Congress.

Information: Van Otteren at 770-985-3502.
