The SBA would like to meet with SCORE leaders to share an overview of the SBA’s Community Navigator concept to continue to provide small businesses with the support they need throughout the economic downturn caused by the pandemic, especially ensuring minority and women-owned businesses have fair and equitable access to small business relief programs. 

The focus is on identifying Community Navigators to ensure small businesses in communities of color and underserved communities can better access the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and other emergency assistance programs.

This initiative will be presented by Michael Negron, Special Assistant, SBA Office of the Administrator. The SBA will be looking for your input on the Hub and Spoke model and SCORE’s ability to participate.

Thank you in advance for participating if your schedule will allow. We will record the presentation and make it available to those who cannot attend.

Thank you for all that you do for SCORE!
