PREPARED BY THE

SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL

FEBRUARY 1998

The South Florida Regional Planning Council proudly presents its firstSmall and Minority Business Resource Directory. This directory is anoutgrowth of the work of the South Florida Small and Minority BusinessResources Forum. Participants felt that such a directory was needed toprovide a regional picture of the resources available to small and minor-ity business and an opportunity for filling gaps in services.

This new Resource Directory is designed to assist economic develop-ment officials, chambers of commerce, small business service providers,and developers in their economic and community development activi-ties.

The directory provides contact names and other resource informationon organizations which provide assistance to support South Florida�ssmall and minority business community.

The Council wishes to express its appreciation and acknowledgment toparticipants in the South Florida Small/Minority Resource Forum whoresponded to our survey. Without you, this effort would not have beenpossible.
