Senator Gallivan to Host Small Business Summit

Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R-C-I, Elma) is once again teaming up with the West Seneca Chamber of Commerce and leaders in business development to present a small business summit from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on October 27, 2015 at the Flix Stadium 10, 4901 Transit Road in Lancaster.  The event, which is free and open to the public, will focus on sales and business development.

“This is the latest in a series of small business summits our office has hosted throughout the region to help those entrepreneurs looking to start their own business and those looking to grow their business,” Gallivan said.  “These events are a great opportunity for business owners and their employees to learn new techniques and to share experiences and ideas for success,” Gallivan said.

As a small business owner, Gallivan understands the challenges entrepreneurs face in today’s economy.  He is also a member of the Senate committee on Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business and served as co-chair of a statewide committee on Regulatory Reform, working to eliminate burdensome rules and regulations that drive up business costs. 

The summit will also feature Frank Swiatek, who serves as Senator Gallivan’s Senior Advisor for Small Business.  Swiatek is a private sector consultant and has worked with numerous small businesses and over 25 Fortune 500 companies.

Anyone interested in attending the event can register or get more information by calling Senator Gallivan’s office at 716-656-8544.
