SBDC DAY 2025
On March 19, 2025, the Pace University Small Business Development Center (SBDC), along with SBDCs from Maine to California, honors our network with #SBDC Day, an inspiring event celebrating the valuable energy and efforts that SBDCs provide to small businesses, entrepreneurs, founders, and inventors all across the United States. SBDC Day brings together all the SBDC centers and the millions of small businesses we’ve collectively served. Join us in sending up a loud cheer for all our shared successes, large and small, that have positively affected communities we serve across the nation.
We thank our clients for providing celebratory notes to honor the day, as pictured here.
