ICSB 2010 Pre-conference Policy Forum Agenda
 The world is hopefully ending its worst economic recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. While the recession has impacted various countries and various sectors within those countries in different ways, small business has typically been one group that has been seriously, adversely impacted. But, how much? And, in what ways? are pressing issues, if too late for present policy and management purposes, then as expereince upon which to base future action to soften the impact of recessions that will inevitably follow.
The purpose of this year's ICSB policy pre-conference is to begin developing a record of the impact of the Great Recession on new and small businesses and government's response in the face of it. The initial appearance suggest that small businesses were often swamped and their interested ignored or lost in the pressing need for government to address overarching economic and financial issues. Yet, that may not be the case, or at least not totally so. And, that may not be bad, or at least not totally so. While our collective memory is fresh, it is well that we start to answer these questions and initiate the process of learning the lessons the Great Recession should teach us. How to Form an ICSB Affiliate/Chapter
Workshop scheduled for 1:30 - 2:45 in Mayflower 1 on Friday June 25  The ICSB 2010 Organizing Committee is very pleased and honored to have such a tremendous turnout for next week's ICSB World Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio.
