Feel-Good Story of the Week
Here’s a positive story sent to me by one of my clients, Synergy Enterprises, Inc. (SEI):
SILVER SPRING, MD—Prachee J. Devadas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synergy Enterprises, Inc. (SEI), and Anand Devadas, SEI’s Vice President of Corporate Operations, met with President Barack Obama today in the Oval Office to discuss challenges facing small business. Ms. Devadas, along with representatives of High 5, LLC, another small business, met with President Obama for a 20-minute discussion on a series of proposals his administration has put forth to promote small business growth and hiring. Ms. Devadas was the only federal government contractor selected to participate in this focus group.
Small businesses (and, um, sole proprietors) work hard to get noticed, often without the supports, subsidies, and other resources given to big businesses. Thanks to Ms. Devadas and her small biz colleagues, the president heard first hand what’s needed to ensure that small but savvy businesses get an equal seat at the table.
Hat’s off to SEI and Ms. Devadas: You’re an inspiration for all of us out here!
