Where True Economic Development Begins

Business Connection Point is a radio program presented by the Akers & Associates, Inc. Strategic Alliance for
Emerging Small Business (SafeSB™) to highlight small business success stories along with the people, processes
and organizations that are helping to make entrepreneurial dreams come true.

The goal of Business Connection Point is to provide an informative, educational and entertaining show that will
engage the audience to:

Get involved with economic development where they live.
Support local small business initiatives.
Implement ideas from the show to grow their own businesses and careers.

The inaugural season of Business Connection Point includes 26 editions that will share successes from the Clark
County Business Opportunity and Workforce Development (BOWD) program, where the SafeSB™ small business
capacity building concept is yielding tremendous results. Each edition of the show will also include news and
information designed to enlighten, empower and inspire current and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Listeners will benefit from:

Interviews with business and government leaders including County officials, small business mentors and other
stakeholders in Nevada’s small business and economic development efforts;
Success stories resulting from strategic partnerships, mentor activities, joint ventures including job creation;
Current events and economic trends affecting our local small business community.
Financial updates on traditional and non-traditional funding for small firms, as well as accounting, tax tips and
money management pointers for entrepreneurs and professionals.
Dream Board, a segment in which entrepreneurs share successes, failures and suggestions for others seeking to
succeed in business.
“Pay It Forward” segments featuring organizations and individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty to
enhance the community.
Work/Life segments providing tips on how to increase productivity, employee morale and quality of life by
facilitating balance, improving communication and promoting wellness in the workplace.
