2024 SBAN Summit on Community Ownership
When: November 14, 2024 from 9:30 AM to 5 PM
Where: Virtual
Join the Small Business Anti-Displacement Network on November 14 for the 2024 SBAN Summit on Community Ownership! The virtual, day-long summit will focus on long-term solutions that allow community members and stakeholders to control commercial assets, land, and enterprises. Community ownership can provide stability for small businesses and keep them in place in gentrifying neighborhoods.
Come explore individual and collective ownership models that support BIPOC- and immigrant-owned small businesses and help them stay in place, including commercial cooperatives, community land trusts, community investment trusts, and commercial property acquisition funds.
Hear from small business advocates, policymakers, and other stakeholders involved in community ownership efforts across the United States and abroad! We’ll discuss policy priorities, outline how to advance community ownership at multiple scales, and get insights from SBAN case study authors and working group members. We’ll also provide opportunities for networking.
The Small Business Anti-Displacement Network (SBAN) is a network of organizations across the United States and abroad that work to prevent displacement of BIPOC- and immigrant-owned small businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods.
The summit is open to SBAN members and non-members.
