Webinar: Celebrating immigrant entrepreneurs and how communities can support them

Immigrant entrepreneurs contribute to the United States, hire American workers, and play critical roles in the economy. This webinar will feature several immigrant entrepreneurs who took different paths to come to the United States and establish successful businesses. It will also feature community efforts to identify obstacles to entrepreneurship and support immigrants and refugees who want to start their own businesses.
