NSBA commends the Senate for confirming William Briggs to support Small Business as Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
JULY 09 | This week, the Senate voted to confirm William Briggs as Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration, a key, unfilled role until now.
President Trump announced Mr. Briggs’ nomination in January, after which, the Senate Small Business Committee approved his advancement in April.
The panel’s Chair Joni Ernst delivered remarks prior to the vote, which can be found here.
Ahead of confirmation, NSBA sent a letter to Senate leaders expressing strong support for the nomination of William Briggs, of Texas, to be Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
The SBA plays a pivotal role in helping ensure Small Businesses, which represent more
than 99 percent of all companies operating in the United States, as well as employ roughly half the nation’s workforce, have access to the resources, capital, and support they need to start, grow, and thrive in an increasingly competitive global economy.
Gained by his tenure as Acting Associate Administrator in the SBA’s Office of Capital Access, as well as his leadership in public policy and financial services, Mr. Briggs is equipped to bring a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing America’s Small Businesses.
Having demonstrated his commitment to the Small-Businesses community, with his experiences making him uniquely qualified to serve as Deputy Administrator, NSBA is confident that Mr. Briggs will provide the vision, leadership, and dedication necessary to strengthen the SBA’s mission and support America’s most important economic community in his newly confirmed role.
NSBA commends the Senate for acting on our endorsement to support Small Business, congratulates Mr. Briggs, and looks forward to working with his agency to further America's most important economic community.
