A Special Message from New SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza

Statement from SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza It is my honor and privilege to return to the SBA as the Agency’s 26th Administrator. I’m thrilled to have been selected by President Trump, and I look forward to serving America’s entrepreneurs. With historically low unemployment and soaring small business optimism, this is such an exciting time for small business owners in America, and I’m determined to leverage the power of the SBA to help bring even more prosperity to America’s small businesses. Our nation’s entrepreneurs are innovators, risk-takers, and the catalyst for employment opportunities within their communities. In particular, I look forward to helping elevate female entrepreneurs and our military veterans, expanding access to SBA resources among entrepreneurs in disadvantaged communities, and continuing to prioritize disaster relief.
