WHAT: The SBA's live Web chat series provides small business owners with the opportunity to have an online exchange about relevant business issues with experts, real-world industry leaders and successful entrepreneurs. Participants will have direct, real-time access to the Web chat via questions they submit online, in advance and during the session, with instant online answers. WHEN: July 10, 2008, 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (ET) McClure will answer questions for one hour.
