YOU Need to be in Columbus on June 7, 2017!
Small Business Day at the Capitol is Wednesday, June 7, 2017. The event takes place at the Athletic Club of Columbus before moving to the Ohio Statehouse for a luncheon with state legislative leaders.
We need NFIB/Ohio members to come to the statehouse and talk with lawmakers about the importance of small businesses to Ohio’s economy to amplify the voice of entrepreneurs across the state.
We are pleased to announce that both Ohio Speaker of the House Cliff Rosenberger and Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof will speak at the event! They both have a lifetime 100% voting record with NFIB/Ohio and ahve both received our highest honor for a legislator, the Guardian of Small Business.
