In this episode of Community Convener, we're focused on one of the most important—and often challenging—parts of building a business: accessing the capital needed to start, sustain, and grow.
In this month's Community Dialogue, presented by Kaiser Permanente, Christy Chewning of Central Georgia EMC sits down with Mia Pressley, Regional Economic Development Manager with Georgia Power; Jasmine Aimes, Commercial Loan Officer with Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs (ACE); and Charles C. Moon, Workplace Banking & Financial Empowerment Leader and Vice President with Truist.
Together, they explore Capital Access: Funding the Minority Entrepreneur, breaking down what business owners need to know before seeking funding. From preparing for financing opportunities and developing strong banking relationships to exploring alternative lending resources and strengthening financial literacy, the conversation offers practical insights entrepreneurs can use at every stage of their journey.
Following the conversation, Barbara Ingram, Director of Communications for the Henry County Chamber, takes us to the Connecting Point with a reflection and challenge encouraging listeners to turn what they've heard into action.
Then, it's time to enjoy a little summer closer to home! Laura Luker, Director of Tourism for Visit Henry, joins us for Tourism Trends to explore staycation opportunities throughout Henry County and remind us that you don't always have to travel far to discover something new.
Plus, we'll catch you up on the latest member news, upcoming Chamber events, and more ways to stay connected with the Henry County business community.
