Dr. Patel completes BBA’s Small Business Intensive

Congratulations to Dr. Shilpa Patel for completing The BBA’s Small Business Intensive (SBI) which is a 15-week, once-a-year program comprised of a curriculum that includes interactive class sessions, peer mentoring groups and the opportunity to gain experience from local experts in the fields of finance, marketing, bankability, AI and more. Participants complete the program with a three-year strategic growth plan plus the confidence and ability to turn those plans into action that leads to growth. Dr. Patel was joined by her family and management team for her graduation on June 23, 2026. The tools that were learned throughout the SBI will help St Clair Eye continue to grow and scale to meet the needs of Pell City and surrounding areas. Grateful for the friendship and networking with the BBA and SBI.
