Thank you to the Los Angeles Entrepreneurship Advantage (EA) collaborative members that celebrated with CAMEO last week at Self Help Graphics & Art!
We started the day by celebrating the EA Steering Committees hard work throughout the year at Yuko Kitchen DTLA.
We are so excited to welcome three new members next year:
- Daniel Fernandez, CEO, TMC Community Capital
- Wai-Ling Chin, Business Counselor Manager, Business, PACE
- Leila Lee, Director, Economic Policy, Mayor’s Office of Economic Development
Our program was short and sweet! Nanci Ochoa, Facilities and Operation Manager welcomed us to the beautiful artistic space where we learned a little history about Self Help Graphics and Art. We then received a warm welcome from CAMEO’s Board President, Jesse Torres, Principal and Founder of Arroyo West. We shared our 2023 Entrepreneurship Advantage Work Plan and then networked and featured your clients in a Holiday Marketplace!
Thank you to the following businesses for joining us and to our members for connecting them to us. For many small businesses this was their first popup! Many shared that the event was a great learning experience and they were excited to reconnect with their mentors and new small business providers.
