Sandy Johnson has been selected from hundreds of applicants to participate in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses leadership program. Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses is a $500 million national program designed to help small businesses in the United States create jobs and economic growth by providing entrepreneurs with a practical business education, access to capital and business support services.* Sandy and her contemporaries will attend classes at LaGuardia Community College in this extensive four month program.
To date only 2,519 entrepreneurs in the US have been chosen to participate. This nationwide program currently operates in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia and Salt Lake City. In June 2014, it was announced that former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg will join Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Warren Buffett and Dr. Michael Porter as co-chair of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Advisory Council.*
