Whatever the life-stage of your company — starting out, growing, consolidating, expanding or revitalizing, SBANE's management education programs can help you plan and control the process. The programs address the business disciplines of general management, marketing and sales, finance and accounting, and human resource development. They vary widely in the time commitments they require and the levels of expertise or experience they address.

The Breakfast Programs
SBANE offers monthly breakfast meetings in Waltham, MA and Providence, RI.  The monthly breakfast meetings provide attendees with opportunities to network with peers and at the same time gain insights and sound advice on current topics of concern for small business owners, entrepreneurs and their advisors.

Networking Events
Voted "Best Networking Event" - Digital Industry

SBANE hosts regular "after-hours" events that attract small business owners from across the region. These events are held in a variety of locations to accommodate the geographic diversity of small business community. You'll expand your professional network, meet SBANE members and add to your base of business contacts.

Legislative Activities
SBANE has no paid lobbyists, is nonpartisan, and supports no candidates, but it exercises considerable political clout through grassroots efforts at both the state and federal levels. SBANE's volunteer board of directors, supported by reporting committees, sends legislative alerts to members, and each year members meet with their legislators in Washington, D.C. to review current issues affecting their company's bottom lines.

SBANE's Washington DC-based partner, the National Small Business Association, provides around-the-clock coverage for small business initiatives.
