1. Regulatory Reform Roundtable – Tuesday, April 10th  8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.,  Environmental Regulatory Issues 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The purpose of this event is to gain valuable insight into which specific federal regulatory burdens present the biggest barriers to small business 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.

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-atlanta-ga-tickets-43670690210

2. NAFTA Modernization Outreach Meeting –  Wednesday, April 11th  9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The Office of Advocacy is writing a report for Congress on the views of small business on the potential economic effects of a renegotiated NAFTA. In order for this outreach effort to be successful, we need small business participation. This will be an opportunity for small business leaders to educate Advocacy and federal agencies through first-hand accounts of how they have been impacted by NAFTA.
