Today we will be talking with Megan Smith. Megan works with The Small Business Center (SBC) at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and is at the heart of small business resources in Concord, Kannapolis, Salisbury, and surrounding towns. Whether you want to start a small business or grow an existing business, the SBC can help you develop a plan of action for lasting success.

Megan is eager to share her love for small business and community, and to apply her background in workforce development and program management. She also holds degrees in secondary education, organizational leadership, and HR management. Megan values giving back through community engagement and strives in helping small business succeed.

The Small Business Center at RCCC, like all small business centers at local community colleges, is there to provide high quality small business education and relevant, comprehensive assistance to anyone in their region who is wanting to start a small business or wanting to grow a small business they are already operating. Programs and services of the Small Business Center are sponsored by the Small Business Center Network (SBCN) of the North Carolina Community College System.

The NC Community Colleges Small Business Center Network assists in starting an average of more than 600 businesses each year. Small Business Centers have an economic impact in 90% of all NC Counties each year, helping to create and retain nearly 3,000 jobs annually.

Megan is going to share with you some of the ways she and the RCCC SBC are currently able to help local small businesses, give some great tips and insight, and share with you some of the upcoming events that can help small business owners who may be struggling, or who want to grow business are having difficulty doing so.
