Small Business Owners Council Expands

The SBOC is committed to reflecting the diversity of U.S. small business owners

In April the Executive Committee elected two new at-large committee members, expanding its Latino and Native American outreach. Additionally, three newly elected organizers will help fulfill the SBOC’s commitment to greater outreach in the Northeastern states and in rural communities across the U.S.

The committee is planning events later this year that will focus on veteran and rural small businesses, disenfranchised, or disadvantaged, small businesses, and small businesses owned by people of color.
