Small Business Policy Committee
The goal of the Miami Open for Business policy initiative is to identify protective measures that best support underserved small businesses so that they can remain competitive and locally rooted in Miami’s economy.
The purpose of the Policy Committee is for members to provide strategic input and advice, oversee, and vote on the final measures to be enacted through our small business policy agenda.
The committee represents critical segments of the small business ecosystem, including municipal leaders, community development advocates, and entrepreneurs, ensuring that the final policy agenda reflects our work’s findings and the desires of small business owners.
