Dear Guest,

As means of introduction, I serve as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Vice President of Small Business Policy. I'm writing today to share how you can join Startup Week Across America (https://www.kauffman.org/what-we-do/entrepreneurship/startup-week-across-america) - and how you can bring those ideas to life in October at our Small Business Summit (https://bit.ly/2joAgh4).

New businesses are vital to our country's economic growth but many policymakers don't know about the great, new startups launching every day in their states and districts. Startup Week Across America (August 20-24) is an opportunity for Senators and Representatives to learn more about local startups and discuss the important role entrepreneurs play in our economy. 

Startup Week isn't the only time to connect with your Members of Congress: help us continue the conversation (https://bit.ly/2JQ23mq) at our Small Business Summit in our nation's capital on October 2 and 3. We'll convene small businesses, large companies, academic organizations, local representatives, and other not-for-profits to share insights on a multitude of topics from scaling a business to hiring and team building to marketing your brand to protecting data networks. Additional details are available below and on our website (https://bit.ly/2joAgh4).

I hope you'll join me this week - and again in October - for these important conversations, and don't hesitate to reach out in the interim with questions or ideas.

All the best,

Tom Sullivan
