In the City Council meeting on Monday, April 2, Mayor Cutter proclaimed the week of April 29th through May 5, 2018 as Small Business Week in the city of San Leandro.  With 28 million small employers nationwide, small businesses constitute two out of three jobs in America. In San Leandro there are more than 2,700 businesses employing 25 or fewer people, and many of these are minority- and women-owned.

During this meeting, the City honored four innovative San Leandro businesses whose work builds upon San Leandro’s strong history in hardware and food production.  Those honored were creative small-batch brewery Cleophus Quealy, groundbreaking bio-tech company Geltor, clean energy innovator FreeWire Technologies, and environmental graphic design firm Shannon Leigh Associates, whose owner, Shannon Hackley, will soon be opening “Station SL” – the first coworking space in Downtown San Leandro.

San Leandro’s Small Business Week aligns with the national celebration, and there are a number of free activities for businesses to participate in to help them grow and improve.

The San Leandro Chamber of Commerce is hosting a number of free and public workshops:

The East Bay Economic Development Alliance will host a panel discussion – Building Blocks of Export Success – on Wednesday, May 2 from 10:45 AM until noon at 375 11th Street, 2nd Floor Board Room in Oakland, CA. Panelists include Tom Neff of RINA Accountancy Corporation, Ken Rosenberg of the Bridge Bank International Banking Group, and Jeff Deiss of the US Small Business Administration.

Additionally, the Small Business Administration is hosting a free virtual conference, on May 1 -3, including online seminars on changing consumer behavior, creating a strong social presence, managing finances in the “cloud,” cyber-security, and more.
