Lorri Rishar, CEO and partner of Edge Partnerships in Lansing, is the 2020-21 Chair of the Small Business Association of Michigan Board of Directors. She talks with Michael Rogers on the SBAM Weekly Podcast about the organization’s priorities for the next 12 months. “There’s going to be a great deal of focus on recovery after COVID, and that will take many shapes and forms and issues, including HR issues and protective wear,” she says.
The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.
Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own.
Our 28,000+ members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!
