SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) has been appointed by Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) to chair the Assembly Select Committee on Small Business Financing and Development Opportunities for the 2013-2014 session. The committee will focus on helping small businesses and creating an environment for small business growth in the state.
“I want to thank Speaker Pérez for giving me the honor of chairing this important committee,” said Assemblymember Brown. “Our committee will focus on responding to the needs of small businesses, encouraging non-traditional lending efforts and looking for ways to update and streamline some of the state’s regulatory processes.”
With a background as a small business owner, Assemblymember Brown will draw upon her experiences to tailor legislation that will improve access to credit and technical services for small businesses owners.
“I’m looking forward to working with my colleagues and serving the needs of the small business community. Small businesses are so important because they provide a majority jobs in our district and play a vital role in boosting our economy,” concluded Assemblymember Brown.
