NSBA urges the Senate to advance and confirm William Briggs' nomination to support Small Business as Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
MARCH 11 | This week, NSBA sent a letter to Senate leaders expressing strong support for the nomination of William Briggs, of Texas, to be Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
On Wednesday, the Senate will hold a hearing on Mr. Briggs to determine final committee approval before advancing on to a vote before the entire Senate.
The SBA plays a pivotal role in helping ensure Small Businesses, which represent more
than 99 percent of all companies operating in the United States, as well as employ roughly half the nation’s workforce, have access to the resources, capital, and support they need to start, grow, and thrive in an increasingly competitive global economy.
Gained by his tenure as Acting Associate Administrator in the SBA’s Office of Capital Access, as well as his leadership in public policy and financial services, Mr. Briggs would bring a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing America’s Small Businesses.
Having demonstrated his commitment to the Small-Businesses community, with his experiences making him uniquely qualified to serve as Deputy Administrator, NSBA is confident that Mr. Briggs will provide the vision, leadership, and dedication necessary to strengthen the SBA’s mission and support America’s most important economic community.
NSBA respectfully urges the Senate to advance and fully confirm this nominee.
