Events & Meetings: Opportunities for You to Participate

The 2008 Session of the Kentucky General Assembly is going on NOW. To find out more information visit the ABOUT page.

Our most recent event the 2007 KY Governor's Forum was held in Louisville on June 28th. A Capacity crowd of small business leaders turned out to hear from the two candidates for governor. Challenger and democratic contender Steve Beshear addressed the small business caucus in the morning and was followed by the incumbent governor and republican candidate Ernie Fletcher. Each of the candidates placed a strong emphasis on the vital role the small business community plays in Kentucky's economy and expressed a desire to work with the small business caucus for the benefit of the entire Commonwealth.

Our next series of Lap Around Kentucky will kickoff on August 29th in Owensboro, KY. Call 502-223-5322 to register or for more information.

Kentucky small-business worked together to force changes to the tax codes passed in 2005 during the extraordinary session last year. In order to continue that success the Small Business Caucus invites you to a critical meeting that every small-business owner should attend in preparation for the 2008 session of the KY General Assembly. To register call 502-223-5322.
