NASE Advocacy Efforts

NASE Joins Small Business Roundtable

NASE is proud to announce that we have joined the Small Business Roundtable. NASE has joined forces with the nation’s leading small business and entrepreneurship organizations to form the Small Business Roundtable (SBR), a coalition dedicated to advancing policy, securing access, and promoting inclusion to benefit the 30 million small businesses at the heart of the American economy.

Like our fellow members of SBR, we are committed to improving the entrepreneurial environment. We are delighted to work alongside the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), National Small Business Association (NSBA), the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC), and the Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (National ACE).

Keith Hall, President &CEO of NASE said: “While ‘small business’ makes for great rhetoric, its advocates rarely are included in major policy decisions. The leading goal of SBR is to ensure a proverbial seat at the table. We must guarantee that our voice—the collective interests of our members—is not only heard, but sought after. We look forward to working not only with traditional partners, but reaching out to new allies across the political and economic spectrum.”

The coalition was established to give the small business associations a more cohesive voice on public policy. It will allow us a place to share information and increase the influence of our organization.

Additionally, it will become a one stop shop as a place to share information for the small business and entrepreneurship community.
