MEDIA ADVISORY THURSDAY: SBA Administrator to Travel to Chicago to Kick Off Small Business Boom Tour, Visit LGBTQI+ Owned Businesses

CHICAGO, June 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MEDIA ADVISORY

On Thursday, June 13, Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman, head of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the voice in President Biden’s Cabinet for America’s more than 33 million small businesses, will travel to Chicago, Ill. to attend Opportunity Finance Network’s (OFN) Small Business Finance Forum, celebrate Pride Month, and kick off the SBA’s Small Business Boom tour.

In the morning, Administrator Guzman will join OFN President and CEO Harold Pettigrew for a fireside chat at OFN’s Small Business Finance Forum. After their discussion concludes, Administrator Guzman will lead a round table on child care where she will highlight the essential role that small businesses play in the child care ecosystem. The roundtable will be closed to members of the media.

Administrator Guzman will then travel to mHUB hard tech and advanced manufacturing innovation center, where she will meet with members of leadership staff as well as mHUB manufacturers who have used the Innovation Center to grow their business.

Following her visit to mHUB, Administrator Guzman will kick off the SBA’s Small Business Boom tour and celebrate Pride Month by visiting three local, LGBTQI+ owned small businesses. Administrator Guzman’s first stop will be to a local landscaping business. She will then travel to a nearby bakery and cafe which will be celebrating its soft opening with a ceremonial ribbon cutting. Finally, she will visit a lighting manufacturing company where she will highlight how President Biden’s Investing in America agenda has ignited a surge in domestic manufacturing and the integral role these investments play in the Small Business Boom.
