Advocacy to Host Regulatory Roundtable for Small Business in Manchester, NH

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Tuesday, November 28th, the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration will host a roundtable in Manchester, New Hampshire. The event will begin at 1:00 p.m. in the Manchester Public Library located at 405 Pine Street.  

The purpose of this event is to gain valuable insight into which specific federal regulatory burdens present the biggest barriers to small business startup and growth. With these recommendations, Advocacy can better assist federal agencies in complying with President Trump’s directives to reduce burdensome regulations. Additionally, information compiled from this roundtable and others will help Advocacy generate a new report informing Congress and the public of the top regulatory issues for small businesses.  

“The Office of Advocacy plays a crucial role in supporting our nation’s small businesses,” said Major L. Clark III, Acting Chief Counsel for Advocacy. “Holding these regional roundtables to hear concerns directly from small business owners is a key component in our efforts to help lessen the heavy regulatory burden on small business.”

This event is open to the public. If you would like to attend, please register at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sba-office-of-advocacy-regional-regulatory-roundtable-manchester-nh-tickets-39522137778
