Great morning USA and thank you #Houston for an energizing visit! I had the honor to visit Houston recently with our terrific SBA Houston District Office. Wow, were we overwhelmed with gratitude and admiration when meeting with U.S. Small Business Administration SBA T.H.R.I.V.E. alumni small business owners, who shared not only their growth plans, but also their challenges. #RealTalk #AmericanDream #HoustonDream Pure tenacity, vision and HOPE! Our action-packed day launched with a visit to University of Houston Texas Gulf Coast SBDC Network | UHSBDC and heard first-hand about innovative programming, action and key performing indicators, illustrative of #TodayNeeds of small business owners in the #TexasGulfCoast area. From there, we transitioned to the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce signature Annual Luncheon, the largest Business Luncheon and Expo in Houston, attended by over 2,000 entrepreneurs and community stakeholders! We wrapped up a most exciting and informative day of learning with a check-in with Greater Houston Women's Chamber of Commerce Women's Business Center.
