Kelly Scanlon, President, Kansas City Small Business Monthly
KC-CWBO Corporate Partner, 2003

Kelly Scanlon has repeatedly been the champion of women business owners, as evidenced by the coverage her publication gives to women and minority firms and issues that affect them. Her unwavering support is also evident in that fact that her company, the Kansas City Small Business Monthly, is KC-CWBO's newest Corporate Partner. Because of Kelly, the KC-CWBO now has the opportunity to be more visible in the business community through consistent placement of an ad series in her publication.

However, the KC Small Business Monthly is more than a publication; it is an information resource organization dedicated to growing small businesses and entrepreneurs. This mission is accomplished by providing:

  1. Practical "how to" strategy articles on a variety of topics critical to small business success;
  2. Connections for small businesses and entrepreneurs to the resources (organizations, classes, people and events) that can help them grow;
  3. Advocacy on behalf of small businesses through feature profiles of entrepreneurs and their achievements, information celebrating small businesses and their economic impact; and sponsoring events that promote entrepreneurs and small business owners (including the Annual "25 Under 25" Awards event.)

The information is disseminated through a variety of channels, including a monthly magazine, annual publications, weekly radio programming ("Eye on Small Business"), bi-weekly electronic newsletter, Web sites and live events.

In addition, Kelly Scanlon has amassed many awards and honors as the publisher of the Kansas City Small Business Monthly. The KC-CWBO is truly proud to have Kelly Scanlon and her company as our Corporate Partner.
