Power Breakfast: Taking Care of Business

The Greater Fayetteville Business Journal invites you to our final Power Breakfast of 2025, where the region’s business leaders will come together for a powerful conversation on leadership, entrepreneurship, and opportunity in North Carolina.

We are proud to welcome The Honorable Elaine F. Marshall, Secretary of State of North Carolina, as our featured panelist. Secretary Marshall has been a trailblazer in North Carolina politics and economic development. She will share insights on the state’s evolving business landscape, innovation, and what it takes to build a strong, sustainable business climate.

We’ll also hear from Kevin S. Dick, President and CEO of the Carolina Small Business Development Fund, who is dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs and small businesses across the state. His perspective on access to capital, growth strategies, and community development will add valuable depth to the discussion.

This Power Breakfast, themed “Taking Care of Business,” is your opportunity to connect with peers, hear from influential state and regional leaders, and gain insights that will help shape the future of our business community.
