SBAM invites members to take part in our concluding Road to 2026 conversations, featuring Perry Johnson (R) and Congressman John James (R). These events mark the final opportunities in this series to hear directly from candidates shaping Michigan’s future.

I’ll be moderating these conversations alongside Charity Dean, President & CEO of the Michigan Black Business Alliance (MBBA) as part of our Road to 2026 series. Together, we’ll guide thoughtful, engaging discussions focused on the issues that matter most to Michigan’s small business community.

As part of SBAM’s ongoing commitment to amplifying small business voices, these events offer members the chance to:

• Hear directly from Michigan candidates
• Engage in meaningful, issue‑focused discussion
• Connect with fellow business leaders from across the state

Space is limited, and we encourage members to register soon to ensure the opportunity to participate in these important conversations. We hope to see you there!
