The SBA Office of Advocacy is hosting Regional Regulatory Reform Roundtables across the country in an effort to hear directly from small businesses about what regulations concern them the most. This is an opportunity for small business owners and stakeholders to meet in-person with Advocacy senior staff. See below for information on the next roundtable, which is free and open to the public:
Glendale, AZ
Wednesday, May 1, 2019
8:30 AM – 12:30 PM MST
Renaissance Glendale
9495 West Coyote Boulevard
Glendale, AZ 85305
The purpose of Advocacy’s Regional Regulatory Reform Roundtables is to:
- Identify regional small business regulatory issues in order to assist agencies with regulatory reform and reduction in compliance with Executive Orders 13771 & 13777;
- Compile crucial information for Advocacy’s new report on existing small business regulatory burdens across the nation, identifying specific recommendations for regulatory changes based upon first-hand accounts from small businesses across the country; and
- Inform and educate the small business public as to how Advocacy and SBA can assist them with their small business goals.
In order for this regulatory reform 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 firsthand accounts of how they are impacted by federal regulations. The information gathered at these roundtables will be utilized to inform agencies, congress and the public on what specific regulations can be modified or removed to help small businesses.
