What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
THE ASSOCIATION REPRESENTS THE COLLECTIVE INTERESTS OF ITS MEMBERS BY PROMOTING, INFORMING, SUPPORTING AND CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING THE SMALL BUSINESS CENTERS NETWORK, WHICH DELIVERS NATIONWIDE EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE TO STRENGTHEN SMALL/MEDIUM BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, THEREBY CONTRIBUTING TO THE GROWTH OF LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL ECONOMIES. THE ASSOCIATION CONDUCTS CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS TO PROVIDE A MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION AMONG THE MEMBERS. THE ASSOCIATION ALSO FACILITATES THE PURCHASE OF WORKSHOP MATERIALS OF VALUE TO THE MEMBERS' SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTERS COUNSELORS.
Program 2
SINCE 1994 THE SMALL BUSINESS ACT PROVIDES THAT THE U.S. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (SBA) CONTRACT WITH THE ASSOCIATION TO PROVIDE FOR AN ACCREDITATION PROCESS FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER PROGRAM. THE SBA IS REQUIRED TO CONSIDER THE RESULTS OF THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS WHEN EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF A SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER (SBDC) FOR PURPOSES OF EXTENDING OR RENEWING ITS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT. THE ASSOCIATION PERFORMS AN ACCREDITATION ON EACH SBDC GRANTEE ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS. THE ASSOCIATION PROVIDES WRITTEN REPORTS OF THE RESULTS OF EACH ACCREDITATION TO THE SBA FOR ITS USE. THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS USED IS BASED ON ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES AND EDUCATION AND TRAINING AND IS TO BE PROVIDED TO THE ASSOCIATION'S MEMBERS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
