We provide customized training for business owners who have been in business for at least 3 years, have annual revenue of at least $400,000 and a maximum of $10 million, and have at least 1 employee besides the owner, with the registered participant being someone at the C level (CEO, CFO, COO, etc.) to qualify.

We are currently identifying small to medium size businesses located within the Washington Metro Area that show a high potential for growth. We are asking for your support in this effort by referring a few businesses that would be a good fit. All participant applicants however MUST register for the program through our third party provider, Interise at: https://www.interise.org/sbaemergingleaders
Our classes will begin in early April, and will conclude in late October 2016. This program helps participants emerge with successful, growth-oriented businesses. The program includes 100 hours of combined in-class time, pre-work/assignments and peer-to-peer mentoring. Through this unique training opportunity, we provide participants with the know-how, networks, and resources to grow a successful business. Space is limited and applicants will be interviewed.
