The health of our community and our small businesses are our utmost priority. We want to know how to best support you and your business in the midst of the news surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19). Please take a moment to lend your voice in this survey below.

Pathways to Prosperity

The SACC has adopted an "8-point Pathways to Prosperity" agenda to inform our 2020 strategy to support the community's economic recovery. Under this agenda, we've identified three stages to help local small businesses navigate and recover from this crisis. We are using this framework to proactively provide the services, resources, and information needed to support our Asian Pacific Islander and small business communities through each stage.
