Ebitari selected for the City of Long Beach LBCEI CEO Forum
The Long Beach Center for Economic Inclusion collaborated with The Business Experts to help small business owners get the opportunity for corporate guidance and support. The program was carried out through an interactive online learning experience where small business owners gained ideas and tools to grow their businesses and enhance exposure.
LISC LA (Local Initiatives Support Corporation: Home) is a proud funder of Long Beach Center for Economic Inclusion’s Small Business Resiliency CEO Forum. The free program provided small business owners with the strategies and support to pivot during COVID times. The virtual sessions allowed CEOs to learn from business experts and their peers to lay the foundation for a new path forward and long term business growth.*
The program was from February 24, 2021, to May 5, 2021. Our President, Ebitari Larsen got selected for the program and she graduated successfully on May 5th 2021. Upon completion of the program business owners became a part of the Long Beach Center of Economic Inclusion community and received free one on one advising from a business mentor for a six-month period.
Ebitari worked on corporate Vision, Mission and Values and gained valuable insights in how to build capacity at DDS through partnerships, freelancers and interns. She was advised to start a board for DDS and learned the importance of being in a good networking group. Ebi was paired with a mentor during the program. Her mentor is Dr. BJ Hawkins.
The program helped us create a vision for 2021 and beyond. Thank you Long Beach Center for Economic Inclusion for such a visionary program.
