Ric’s Clean Slate

• JSC is in the process of gathering data on the impact of events on small businesses.  Do they actually increase small business opportunities/sales? Need metrics on successes coming out of events (first time business, repeat business, etc). 
• Feedback from the Light Manufacturing Event attendees was very positive.
