Hot off the press: an article on how Obama's New SBA Chief May Change the Agency.
Sure, Hillary and Janet get a lot of attention as the newest members of the Obama administration but according to today's Business Week Insider, Karen Gordon Mills is also a woman to watch.
The new head of the Small Business Administration has extensive background with businesses of all sizes, and recognizes the need for an agency that is flexible enough to meet the needs of different entrepreneurs and companies. According to the article:
"Observers see Mills' experience co-founding Solera with two women
partners as an indication that she will be an advocate for the nation's
women-owned small businesses. Among the investments the fund has made
are women-owned small businesses such as Latina Media Ventures and natural food producer Annie's. "
Read more about Mills and her vision in the new edition of Insider. Maybe she'll have you chanting, "Yes We Can!"
Hi Michele, What a great blog - I am enjoying the discussions. I too am excited to see Mills potential for advocacy as head of SBA. There is an awards (AA tickets, Clubcorp membership, etc.) being hosted by a women business networking site that will recognize women entrepeneurs who are mentoring and inspiring others. Thought I would mention it, for it is an opportunity to nominate those around you that have provided that role.
