SBA Latina Programs Are Growing More And More Influential

SBA Latina Programs are finally getting the attention they deserve.

The SBA Latina Programs introduced in San Diego, California, are only the latest in a surge in interest in this very prominent business demographic group.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the National Latina Business Women Association of San Diego (NLBWA-SD) signed an agreement in the summer of 2006 that will allow both organizations to work together to improve Latina business access to technological information.

The agreement provides greater access to educational opportunities and SBA resources.  

More importantly, it also provides maximum financial opportunities and training to Latina women entrepreneurs.

Dr. Ruben Garcia, district director of the SBA's San Diego office, is very impressed with the work being accomplished by the NLBWA, and with their excellent leadership.

The NLBWA is dedicated to helping Latina women take their place as business owners.
There is good reason why SBA Latina programs are capturing the interest of the SBA. Latina business ownership is the fastest growing segment of business growth in the entire U.S., surpassing that of women in general, and every other defined ethnic group.

The SBA Latina program, and others like it, are designed to assist in that amazing growth.
