Council of Smaller Enterprises

The Council of Smaller Enterprises, known as COSE, is a division of the Greater Cleveland Partnership and an organization that coordinates the activities of and provides resources and advocacy for small businesses in the Greater Cleveland area. It is the largest regional small business group in the United States.[1]
Advocacy
In 1991, John Polk, the head of the organization at the time, spoke out against mandates for employers to provide health insurance, arguing that such mandates hurt small employers since those businesses were least able to afford health insurance.[2] In 2005, the organization was advocating for health care reform at the national level, particularly focusing on reform oriented towards reducing health care costs.[3]
