Small Business
This event is for Greater Raleigh Chamber members only.
Coffee with Kevin Dick of Carolina Small Business Development Fund (CSBDF)
Learn how different facets of economic development fit together and why small businesses, their access to capital and their growth are so integral to the economy and society.
Kevin Dick began as President & CEO with the Carolina Small Business Development Fund (CSBDF) in February 2020 after decades of professional experience working in economic, community, and workforce development at the local government level. He leads a team of 40 full-time employees and has accountability for a $22m+ loan portfolio with $37m in assets under management. Since joining CSBDF, Kevin has helped to bring about a resurgence of the organization as a community and economic development entity with a statewide focus. During his tenure, CSBDF has deployed over $40m in capital and provided loans, grants and technical assistance to over 2000 North Carolina-based small businesses from primarily underserved communities. CSBDF has also conducted economic policy research that has informed government officials, philanthropic organizations, financial services institutions and other key stakeholders. He has worked with the Board and staff to devise a streamlined Strategic Plan, perform an organizational re-alignment and has led the organization to become the #1 SBA Community Advantage Lender in NC for 2022 and the #1 community development financial institution (CDFI) in 2023 for SBA (7a) lending in NC (#22 overall). CSBDF has also become a go-to agency for the administration of public sector loan and grant programs, which has brought relief to thousands of small businesses throughout NC that were adversely impacted by the global pandemic.
