The State of the 50+ Entrepreneur
March 30, 2021 | 2 - 4:30 pm ET
Presented by:
Join AARP and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to discuss the State of the 50+ Entrepreneur.
AARP and the New York Fed will present new research on how the nation's 50+ Entrepreneurs have fared over the last year. You'll hear from thought leaders, policymakers, and age 50+ entrepreneurs about what needs to be done to build a more equitable economy and support small businesses.
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored both the importance and vulnerability of America's small businesses. We know older entrepreneurs make up a critical segment of the small business community. This event will explore the impact of COVID-19 on older entrepreneurs and particularly those of color who face additional challenges and barriers that may limit their success. As Americans work to pull through the past year's crises, we'll examine the need to support older entrepreneurs so that they can rebuild and recover.
