U.S. Small Business Administration Update

This morning, Greater Ottumwa Partners in Progress hosted an update from members of the U.S. Small Business Administration. We heard from Lisa Shimkat (Associate Administrator, Office of Field Operations), Brad Zaun (Regional Administrator, Region 7 (Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas)) and Ryan Lincoln (District Director, Iowa District). They spoke about opportunities available to small businesses and answered questions attendees had about specific funding as well as manufacturing trends.

Greater Ottumwa Partners in Progress is proud to sponsor educational events for our members and stakeholders.

We also appreciate the support and participation from the Ottumwa Legacy Foundation, City of Ottumwa, Iowa - City Government, Main Street Ottumwa, Rippling Waters, IHCC Regional Entrepreneurship Center, and Patterson Monument Company.
