Link Southeast Kentucky has been working in our area with women who own small businesses by getting them all together to network and resolve issues they may be facing as business owners. Although it is tough for any small business owner in this region, it's that much more difficult as a female business owner. In Eastern Kentucky, it's a little bit harder than it is in some larger metropolitan areas and by binding together we can really help get over the stigma that's involved in that so we can help push these small businesses forward and make them successful. We've lost a lot of positions, a lot of good jobs due to coal and we need to find something to fill that void in this area. Small business is really where I feel that void is going to be filled with. The speakers at the meeting were there to offer suggestions that have been proven beneficial to small businesses. At EKB, we focus a lot on, you know, shopping local, shopping small. We want to help small businesses. I think a lot of people don't know how affordable it is to advertise on TV and this is, you know, a social environment, low pressure and it's a good way to just chat with people and kind of let them know what we're all about.
