The Committee on Small Business Subcommittee on Underserved, Agricultural, and Rural Business Development will hold a hybrid hearing titled: “SBA District Office Collaboration with Resource Partners.” The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:00 A.M. on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 in Room 2360 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Participating members can also join remotely via Zoom. A strong relationship is necessary between the Small Business Administration (SBA) and its resource partners to ensure important information is flowing from the agency to small firms all over the country. The SBA’s district offices are a critical component in this flow of information as they are the representatives tasked with working with small firms and resource partners in local communities. During this hearing, the Committee will review the relationship between the district offices and SBA resource partners.
