Member Committees
NAGGL Committees play a vital role in shaping the direction of our work and advancing the interests of the SBA 7(a) lending community. Committees provide a space for members to share expertise, discuss industry challenges, and collaborate on solutions that benefit lenders and small businesses alike. All NAGGL members are welcome to join a committee.
There are two types of committees:
- National Committees focus on broader policy, technical, and industry-wide issues.
- Regional Committees provide a local forum to connect with peers, share best practices, and address region-specific topics.
