On Wednesday, I met with Small Business Administration officials - Jon Collins, Deputy Associate Administrator for Congressional Affairs; Thomas Kimsey, Associate Administrator for the Office of Capital Access; and (online) Lisa Shimkat, Associate Administrator for the Office of Field Operations. Our discussion focused on several critical issues including the reopening of SBA’s Guam office to support the CNMI, reducing burdensome regulations on small businesses, addressing federal travel restrictions for SBDC, and enhancing federal contracting opportunities for local businesses.
