SMALL BUSINESS WEEK
The annual Georgetown Small Business Week celebrations are held the first week in May in conjunction with National Small Business Week. The Chamber partners with the City of Georgetown's Economic Development Department to host a week full of activities. Educational workshops are designed to help business owners and managers with various topics relevant to small businesses. Workshops focus more on detailed training, and networking activities are scheduled to help connect our local businesses.
