Earlier this week, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Isabella Guzman announced SBA would be filling  a handful of open positions at the SBA. 

Unfortunately, there remain three key openings that require immediate action: the SBA Deputy Administrator; the Chief Counsel for the SBA Office of Advocacy; and the National Ombudsman.

Among NSBA’s top priorities for small business is a robust and functioning SBA – a standard only possible with a complete and effective leadership and staff. 

Despite NSBA repeatedly calling on the administration to nominate – and lawmakers to act on said nominations – three key positions among top SBA leadership remain open.
