Welcome to CEW’s Small Business Advisory Program!

The old saying goes, “It’s not what you know. It’s who you know.”

Here at CEW, we believe it’s actually the marriage of the two — knowledge and meaningful connections — that truly builds the kind of confidence and successes that enable our community to thrive.

If you’re an entrepreneur or part of a small business or nonprofit, we’ve put together a host of top-notch industry professionals across disciplines who generously offer their time and expertise in the spirit of support and mentorship.

To be matched with an advisor who can help your business grow, simply email our team at [email protected].
