\nHappy New Year and welcome to Island Biz!<\/p>\n

\nAloha!  My name is Hazel Beck and I am honored to serve as your Deputy District Director for the Hawaii-Pacific Islands SBA District Office in Honolulu.  As some of you know, this is the second time I have the privilege of working with small businesses in Hawaii\n and the Western Pacific.  I led an amazing team at the West Hawaii Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in Kailua Kona from 2009 through 2015.<\/p>\n

\nWorking with our District Director, Mark Spain, our goal is to equitably serve our entire region.  My team and I will be on the Neighbor Islands once a quarter, working with Lenders, Chambers of Commerce and our Resource Partners to bring the SBA\u2019s programs,\n services and training to you!  Mark will be doing the same in the Western Pacific.<\/p>\n

\nIsland Biz will be a part of our future newsletters.  If you have any comments or a topic that you would like discussed, please email\n\nhazel.beck@sba.gov<\/a><\/p>\n

\nWe look forward to working with you.  Wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2022!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
