What is the Small Business Advisory Council?
The Small Business Advisory Council is a group of small business members from a variety of sectors. They work alongside our team at The Winnipeg Chamber to help shape things like our programming and events, based on current issues that are important to Winnipeg’s small business community.
Our advisory council helps plan and brainstorm events like the Small Business Forums, where our goal is to not only give you access to experts who can help you elevate your business, but also give you access to each other, for an opportunity to network, make some new connections, and learn from other local small business owners.
