UMW Small Business Development Center is hosting First Thursdays with the SBA on February 4, 2016

Grab your lunch and join us the first Thursday of each month to learn more about SBA programs and network with other small business owners.

 James Williams, Lead Economic Development Specialist with the SBA will join the umwsbdcUMWSBDC on February 4th for this month’s topic “Encore Entrepreneurship.”  A growing number of workers age 50-plus are turning interests, hobbies or skills into a small business. Whether you are interested in starting a small business right away or are intending to wait until after retirement, now is the time to explore the possibilities. Whether your target market is global or just your neighborhood, the SBA and its Resource Partners can help at every stage of turning your entrepreneurial dream into a thriving business.

There will be a featured topic each month followed by specific or general questions and discussion.  To register, visit
