The State Advisory Board for ASBTDC is comprised of small business owners, lenders, and representatives of partner organizations and economic development agencies.

The board advises State Director Laura Fine and the network leadership team on strategies to assist ASBTDC with helping create and grow small businesses.

The Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration through a partnership with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock College of Business, Health, and Human Services and other institutions of higher education.

All opinions, conclusions, or recommendations expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the SBA. All ASBTDC programs are extended to the public on a non-discriminatory basis. Language assistance services are available for limited English proficient individuals. Reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance.
