Those challenges have grown during the past two years as our country has battled a pandemic\n that has hit Black communities and other communities of color hardest. But the entrepreneurial spirit continues to thrive in the Black community, and Black businesses are helping to revive our economy and put us back on track. At the SBA, we remain committed\n to breaking down barriers to accessing capital, networks,&nbsp;and markets and to bringing new investments and resources to Black communities across this nation. We\u2019re working each day to level the playing field for business owners&nbsp;who&nbsp;have been underserved and\n overlooked far too long. That work is ongoing, and under President Biden\u2019s leadership, we\u2019re working this Black History month and every month to close gaps and build a better America that lifts more Black-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, and innovators. As\n we celebrate their contributions, I want to thank them for the work they are doing each day to build our economy and power local communities. Our doors at the SBA will always be open so we can continue to help their businesses grow and thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"font-family:sans-serif;line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:15px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"line-height:1;margin:0px;padding:0px\">\n<div style=\"line-height:1;margin:0px;padding:0px\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tribal Consultation\" width=\"540\" height=\"361\" style=\"height:auto;line-height:1;outline:none;text-decoration:none;border:none!important;max-width:100%!important;height:auto!important;width:540px;height:auto!important;max-height:auto!important;border:none\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/1UFhAE-o4E_LeZQEvuJe2Gd7FLh9ctLa4RUvYOsL8_EDLvbNa0O69VpJqYKi-oDFFwflzeQkFUcLe0wZnD2gUDfZy5ggVeWvQQVZF4yNTn_LVo5dEo4a3PeMDHmlGcP9whvhY85u3_nYAVsrVvBHUHRYgWojomX6fHZERvzMoMTA=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/attachments\/fancy_images\/USSBA\/2022\/02\/5480897\/3940989\/tribal-signing_crop.jpg\" class=\"CToWUd a6T\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"a6S\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"opacity: 0.01; left: 810px; top: 2366.18px;\"><div id=\":26q\" class=\"T-I J-J5-Ji aQv T-I-ax7 L3 a5q\" title=\"Download\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Download attachment \" data-tooltip-class=\"a1V\"><div class=\"akn\"><div class=\"aSK J-J5-Ji aYr\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h1 align=\"center\" style=\"font-family:sans-serif;text-align:center;line-height:1.1;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:28px;margin:0 0 20px\">\n&nbsp;<\/h1>\n<h1 align=\"center\" style=\"font-family:sans-serif;text-align:center;line-height:1.1;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:28px;margin:0 0 20px\">\n<strong>In Signing New Tribal Consultation Policy, SBA Administrator Guzman Commits to Continued Equitable Access to Resources and Opportunities to Indian Country Businesses<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"font-family:sans-serif;line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:15px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lnks.gd\/l\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjAyMDIuNTI3OTIzNjEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5zYmEuZ292L3BlcnNvbi9pc2FiZWxsYS1jYXNpbGxhcy1ndXptYW4_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.NeSWIFBD-HGhVTwnzXJp-j1481nHOut3Ig23Xbz5wZw\/s\/2143059479\/br\/126034711623-l\" style=\"color:#0b97dd;text-decoration:underline;word-break:break-word\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/lnks.gd\/l\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjAyMDIuNTI3OTIzNjEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5zYmEuZ292L3BlcnNvbi9pc2FiZWxsYS1jYXNpbGxhcy1ndXptYW4_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.NeSWIFBD-HGhVTwnzXJp-j1481nHOut3Ig23Xbz5wZw\/s\/2143059479\/br\/126034711623-l&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1644026460180000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3J82PXeJSKhI9sqJ7uN_Fu\" rel=\"noopener\">Administrator\n Isabella Casillas Guzman<\/a> signed the Agency&#8217;s Tribal Consultation Policy of 2022.
