January 2024:
On January 9, 2024, the SBA activated the Veteran’s Certification (VetCert) program, which previously was accomplished by the Department of Veterans Affairs. In honor of the National Veterans Small Business Week, a select group of veteran entrepreneurs, of which our CEO, Linda Houk, was included, met with Administrator Guzman to discuss their experiences with the VetCert and several other programs the SBA offers. Isabel Guzman is the 27th Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration and serves in President Biden’s Cabinet as the leading advocate for America’s 33 million small businesses and innovative startups.
