We are excited to extend a special invitation to all commercial lenders and their lending teams to an informative seminar followed by a networking happy hour!


Industry Insights:


During the seminar portion of the event, you will hear from Brian Picarazzi and Romy Ancog from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), alongside our very own in-house SOP guru, Gary Witkowski. Brian and Gary will delve into the changes of SBA's new SOP 50 10 7, which went into effect on August 1, 2023, and Romy will be presenting on SBA’s Export Program, highlighting the benefits for borrowers.


This seminar presents a unique opportunity for you to gain a comprehensive understanding of the upcoming changes to the SOP and how they will impact both you and your borrowers. Discover key insights and strategies to navigate the new SOP with confidence and success. Additionally, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the benefits of SBA’s Export Program.
