The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) appointed 15 individuals to the Council on Underserved Communities (CUC).  The CUC provides feedback and recommendations on how to assist with competitiveness and sustainability for small businesses in underserved communities.

The CUC plans to increase entrepreneurship and technical assistance as well as create new outreach by training and raising awareness in underserved communities about readily available SBA programs.

Before the first official meeting of CUC in July, the council will be hearing from small business owners and members of underserved communities.  The council would like to hear from these individuals to see what they need from SBA, as well as what they would like to see changed.

CUC is just one of the many efforts by SBA to expand outreach to developing communities.  CUC will meet regularly starting in July and will increase access to capital, endorse sustainability and forward development and job creation.

Hassell McClellan, associate professor – Operations & Strategic Management Department, Carroll School of Management.
