Last month, Booker hosted a roundtable for minority small business owners in Camden.<\/p>\n<p>Following the senator\u2019s remarks, attendees heard from a panel of female entrepreneurs and participated in breakout sessions focused on accessing capital and government contracting opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Booker cited recent figures from American Express showing that there are currently some 230,800 women-owned businesses in New Jersey that are on track to do roughly $45 billion in sales this year.<\/p>\n<p>While that\u2019s good, Booker said, there\u2019s still room for improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf better is possible, good is not enough,\u201d Booker said. \u201cSo we need to make sure that we go further.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New Brunswick mayor Jim Cahill was also on hand, noting that all too often he sees that women-owned small businesses tend to be smaller and less profitable than small businesses owned by men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s something we need to change,\u201d Cahill said.<\/p>\n<p>Booker said he\u2019s been \u201cencouraged\u201d thus far by the public response to the roundtables and noted he plans to continue hosting them throughout the state with a particular focus on groups that he feels don\u2019t always receive the support they need.<\/p>\n<p>Upcoming roundtables may concentrate on specific industry sectors such as manufacturing and technology, the latter of which Booker says has a lot of potential in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a real growth sector and there\u2019s a lot of entrepreneurialism happening there,\u201d Booker said of the tech sector.<\/p>\n<p>Posted April 11, 2014, <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.njbiz.com\/article\/20140411\/NJBIZ01\/140419946\/Booker-hosts-women%E2%80%99s-small-business-roundtable-in-New-Brunswick\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">NJBIZ.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1241\" src=\"https:\/\/jidancleaning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Booker-Forum.jpg\" alt=\"Booker-Forum\" width=\"202\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jidancleaning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Booker-Forum.jpg 430w, https:\/\/jidancleaning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Booker-Forum-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jidancleaning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Booker-Forum-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI am so excited about this room.\u201d That\u2019s how U.S. Sen.
