Basically you can leave at 11:45 because SWED is worthless and a waste of time.
What needs to be changed now is that we must stop focusing only on minority businesses. For example, if 10 small businesses can create 100 jobs and only 2 are minority owned, why would we want to focus primarily on minority owned? We should be focused on which ones create the most jobs.
Maybe that is why it is a small AND minority business enterprise forum.
