The Small Business Council is a leadership group of area entrepreneurs dedicated to work with the support of GO Topeka to promote small business in Shawnee County and equip those businesses for success.  GO Topeka empowers small business by relying on local business leaders to influence and shape the conversation about how best to support existing businesses, and assist those who wish to learn how they can grow.

“Small business is big business to GO Topeka! Our mission to promote and advance the economic vitality of Shawnee County depends on the success of entrepreneurs who make this community a vibrant place to live, work, and play. Fulfilling our mission wouldn’t be possible without the support and advocacy of our Small Business Council, a passionate group that provides meaningful perspectives and solutions to help move Topeka and Shawnee County forward.” – Stephanie Norwood, Director of Entrepreneurship & Small Business.

“The Small Business Council at Greater Topeka Partnership is crucial in shaping the future of our local economy. Small businesses are the backbone of Topeka, driving innovation, creating jobs, and fostering a sense of community. Our council is dedicated to advocating for their needs, providing a platform for collaboration, and ensuring they have the resources and support to thrive. By empowering small businesses, we strengthen our entire community and lay the foundation for a more prosperous and dynamic future for Topeka. ” – Amanda Lewis-Thompson, Chair, Small Business Council
