SBA Forms Strategic Alliance With the National Society of Hispanic MBAs NSHMBA – San Diego

“The district director of San Diego’s U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) office, Ruben Garcia, has signed a strategic alliance with the National Society of Hispanic MBA’s (NSHMBA) San Diego chapter and its executive vice president, William Greenwald. The NSHMBA works to foster leadership in San Diego’s Hispanic community through graduate management education and professional development by promoting business education, training and research. NSHMBA has 32 chapter groups throughout the country with a national office in Texas.

The signed agreement is expected to allow SBA and the NSHMBA San Diego chapter to work together to improve professional educational opportunities, knowledge and use of SBA resources, and provide maximum financial opportunities and training to existing and potential entrepreneurs in the region.

“I’m very pleased with the National Society of Hispanic MBA’s and its excellent local leadership through William Greenwald,” said Garcia. “He has a strong background of helping the underserved take their place as business owners and I know that he will do a great job of assisting potential entrepreneurs to fulfill their dreams of small business ownership.”

The collaboration between the SBA and the NSHMBA is building a strong foundation for the future. The U.S. is in the midst of the largest entrepreneurial surge ever. According to SBA projections, nearly 672,000 new companies with employees were created last year and 12 percent more than at the height of the dot-com growth in 1996.

“Having the SBA of San Diego as a Strategic Alliance partner only enhances an already strong foundation of services NSHMBA provides to its members,” said Greenwald. “Our organization is focused on providing information on education, ‘know-how’ and the guidance that small business owners are interested in to help increase their profitability and generate greater opportunities for the entire community.”

NSHMBA, created in 1988, has more than 7,000 members throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Its mission is to foster Hispanic leadership through graduate management education and professional development.
