I’m excited to announce a big event happening on Thursday, May 9 at our main Central Arizona College Signal Peak Campus, “The Pinal County Business Lending Showcase.”
The event brings five lenders together for presentations, panel discussion, and Q&A. It will give your Chamber members the opportunity to learn about, directly from lenders, what goes into a “lending package” these organizations need to complete the business lending process, as well as meet with lenders directly. A complimentary continental breakfast will be provided.
We’ll have the following lenders in attendance:
- First Interstate Bank, Isabel Morales +2, regional/traditional lender, SBA loans
- National Bank of Arizona, John Lewis +1, Arizona/traditional lender, SBA loans
- Pinal County Federal Credit Union, Carter Tomac +1, credit union lender, SBA loans
- Community Investment Corporation, Brandi Szymanski, non-traditional lender, unique funding products
- Growth Partners AZ/Kiva, Alexa Rodriguez, non-traditional lender, crowd funding
The event starts at 9:30 a.m. with networking/breakfast, with my introduction at 10 a.m.
Starting at 10:15, the lenders will each showcase their offerings via a 15 minute presentation. There will be lending products for existing businesses as well as startups, so this event is for all your members. Once all five have presented, we’ll take a break and set up for the panel discussion, followed by Q&A. We’ll finish by 12:30 p.m.
