The U.S. Small Business Administration’s Interagency Task Force on Veterans Small Business Development (IATF) and Advisory Committee on Veterans Business Affairs (ACVBA) will hold quarterly public meetings on June 6 and 7 respectively at SBA headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The IATF meeting will be held Wednesday, June 6, from 1 to 4 p.m. The ACVBA will meet on Thursday, June 7 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Both Federal Advisory Committee public meetings will address the current state of veteran-owned small businesses, updating the public on progress made regarding pushing forward veteran entrepreneurship and employment. Committee members will receive briefs on access to capital, counseling and training, and government contracting.
In addition to providing progress updates, Christopher Holleman, an Administrative Judge for SBA’s Office of Hearings & Appeals, will discuss the new regulations for adjudicating Department of Veterans Affairs’ Center for Verification and Evaluation protests and appeals.
“Eight newly appointed committee members will be present for this quarter’s meetings, bringing new perspectives to our discussion,” said Larry Stubblefield, Acting Associate Administrator for SBA’s Office of Veterans Business Development. “These committees’ efforts continue to positively impact not just SBA’s veterans programs, but critical policy decisions as well. I look forward to continued collaboration with these veteran thought leaders.”
