‼️In case you missed it‼️

We are extremely proud of our Executive Director and co-founder Amanda Converse who was named the Mercy Otis Warren Cape Cod Woman of the Year 2023! 🎉

From @barnstablecounty, “Each year since 2002, the award has honored remarkable women who exemplify the traits of community leadership and who have made a significant contribution to the arts, education, business, community involvement, and volunteerism while embracing the ideals of patriotism. Ms. Converse exemplifies these qualities through her work focusing on sustainability and the Cape Cod economy."

Cape Cod and @lovelivelocal are lucky to have her vision + perseverance! 🙏🏻

If asked why small businesses are important to loc

If asked why small businesses are important to local communities, many consumers might point to anecdotal evidence like they make a place unique and contribute to its character. However, both national and local data show the importance of small businesses to local communities beyond feel good stories and the intangible.

According to the Small Business Administration, small businesses have accounted for 66 percent of employment growth in the United States over the last 25 years, and on Cape Cod the Cape Cod Commission estimates small businesses with less than 50 employees make up 97.5% of the employers in the region.

In addition to being important partners in the employment of the domestic workforce, small businesses are also valuable wealth generators for their communities.
