The people who help guide us
Small businesses need support. To help FedEx know what small businesses need, we talk to real owners. It’s not about statistics or theory. It’s about knowing first-hand what it takes to run a small business in the current market.
That’s what the Entrepreneur Advisory Board (EAB) was created to do. It's a group of small business owners who share their perspectives with us. Each has a unique history of business success and industry expertise. Members serve a year-long term. And we’re always grateful to current and former members for their insights.
