“The Office of Advocacy ensures the interests of small businesses are represented in Congress and the Oval Office,” said Laketa Henderson, SBA Deputy District Director, “I am excited that small businesses in Laredo will have a chance to have their concerns heard at this roundtable discussion.”

“The TAMIU SBDC is honored to serve as the conduit for the exchange of this critical information and feedback from our small business community here in Laredo to those who will help to shape policy in the future,”  said Michael González, TAMIU-SBDC director.
