We empower small businesses by providing the resources, connections, and advocacy necessary for success. When small businesses thrive, entire communities flourish, and we are committed to helping businesses grow through education, collaboration, and support.
ASBA is Arizona’s small business ally at the State Legislature, advocating on behalf of small businesses and ensuring their voices are heard. Join us in the morning for Coffee at the Capitol, a casual opportunity to connect with key legislators and legislative staff on the Capitol lawn. This free event gives ASBA members the chance to engage in meaningful conversations around the most important policy issues impacting small businesses during the current legislative session.
Coffee at the Capitol will take place on Thursday, April 16, from 9:00–11:00 a.m. at the Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza (1700 W. Washington St. Phoenix, AZ 85007), and will include complimentary coffee and networking.
In the afternoon, we will host a Lunch & Learn: Lawmaker Panel, followed by an Advocacy Training presentation led by ASBA’s new CEO, Steve Kaiser, former Arizona State Senator and public policy expert. This portion of the day is a ticketed event, limited to 40 attendees and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Lunch is included with the price of admission.
