PEORIA,
Ariz. (June 2, 2009) – Owning and operating a successful business remains a
vital part of the American dream. While many owners and entrepreneurs may be
experts in their chosen fields, few have all the answers – but the small
business seminars offered by Peoria’s Economic Development Department can help.
The

Pipper, currently a Business Development Officer with the U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA), will present a hands-on approach to getting financial
assistance, especially during periods of economic transition.
Pipper has been with the SBA for 26 years and handled a large portfolio of
problem loans during his tenure, giving him a unique insight into dealing with
many of the difficulties business owners currently face.
This
free event will take place on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in
the Pine Room at Peoria City Hall (8401 W. Monroe Street, Peoria).
