On this week’s free webinar celebrating national SBDC Day 2025, host and SBDC director, Kelly Bearden will be joined by Susie Pryor, Director for the Central California SBDC network, which includes six regional centers throughout the Central Valley. Pryor will discuss how small businesses can thrive through change, and provide tools to develop strategies for growth. She will also share her personal adventures in buying, adapting, growing and selling small businesses.    
 
The 8th annual SBDC Day 2025 is a national celebration of the success stories and impact that America's Small Business Development Centers (ASBDC) have on start-ups and small businesses. The ASBDC evolved into a nationwide network after it was created in 1976 by the U.S. Small Business Administration as a pilot program at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. 
 
Bearden will begin the webinar with a look at the economics of small business and funding ideas for growing them, success stories, and key business-related updates.   
 
Questions from attendees will be taken.  
 
This marks the 339th episode of the “Webinar Wednesday” business series that provides news and information helpful to employers and business owners.
