ECDI Small Business Initiative VISTA 2022
 
 
 
ECDI’s Northern Ohio (Akron/Canton) offices have identified a need to increase their outreach capacity in the region to deepen their ties to the community, identify key business partners and organizations to start a referral program, and provide more services and programming to entrepreneurs in need. This project seeks to build the capacity of the Northern Ohio offices to connect with and serve entrepreneurs in the region. By helping entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses, ECDI creates jobs that help bring individuals into the economic mainstream. The VISTA will analyze current marketing and outreach strategies and resources with the intent of expanding operations to attract entrepreneurs, increase engagement, and highlight organizational successes.
