2021 Virtual DC Fly-In: March 2 – 3, 2021

Our March COSE Member Meet-Up will focus on how each of you as small business owners, leaders, or employees, are finding ways to connect to other businesses in the region to generate new opportunities.

Meet with organizations and businesses that can provide you with the resources and relationships you need as you continue to develop and grow your business.

Join our expert panelists as they discuss their organization's MBE supplier development initiatives. We'll explore why these initiatives are necessary and talk about best practices on implementation.

Every two years, the governor submits the operating and capital budgets to the Ohio General Assembly. No legislation is more important to the operation of state government than the bills that compose the budget. As we near the next biennial budget process, join us for a GCP Virtual Morning Conversation with Kimberly Murnieks, State Director of the Office of Budget and Management.

2021 is an all-important year for advocacy. The State of Ohio’s biennial budget process—one made more onerous by pandemic-induced fiscal challenges—will present a critical opportunity to advance the priorities of small businesses. The voice of the small business community is vital to securing key advocacy wins, and COSE Day at the Capitol is a valuable opportunity to be heard by elected officials in our state capital.
