Hearing:
The Role of the SBA’s 8(a) Program in Enhancing Economic Opportunities
Committee on Small Business
Wednesday, September 18, 2019 (11:30 AM)
2360 RHOB
Washington, D.C.
The SBA’s 8(a) program was designed as a business development program to help disadvantaged businesses compete in the federal marketplace. The program helps thousands of small businesses start and grow by competing for government contracts and in doing so, assists local communities. Nevertheless, the program has faced several challenges throughout the years. The hearing will examine how the program operates, the benefits to entrepreneurs and communities, and steps Congress can take to improve the effectiveness and oversight of the program.
