SBDC Day on March 21st is a national movement and social media campaign to help share collectively the small business success stories and notable impact SBDCs have fostered in communities nationwide. For nearly 40 years the America’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network has helped aspiring and emerging small business owners achieve the American dream of entrepreneurship.

Vermont Small Business Development Center (VtSBDC) along with our clients, stakeholders, and partners will post on Facebook and Twitter that day, using the hashtag #SBDCDay, and encourage liking, commenting and sharing.
