Washington, DC - May 13, 2010

Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced that leading small business expert, Jim Blasingame, will moderate the opening panel at its America’s Small Business Summit 2010. The Summit, held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, May 17-19, 2010, is being conducted to promote the important role America’s small businesses play in job creation and economic prosperity and to encourage members of the government to consider small business issues more when making laws, regulations and trade agreements.

Blasingame is president of Small Business Network, Inc., and perhaps is best known as the creator and host of the nationally syndicated weekday small business radio program, The Small Business Advocate® Show.

“We are very excited to have our long-time friend, Jim Blasingame, contribute his professional moderating skills to the kick-off event of our 2010 Summit,” said Giovanni Coratolo, Vice President of Small Business Policy at the U.S. Chamber. “For many years, Jim has been one of the great champions of small businesses, as well as an abiding supporter of the work we do here on behalf of these heroes.”

“It’s always an honor to be invited back to support my friends at the U.S. Chamber,” said Blasingame. “The work they do on behalf of America’s small businesses, especially representing these very busy job creators with policy makers in Washington, is more than important; it’s invaluable.”
