On October 26, 2022, Tony Wilkinson, President and CEO, presented the prestigious Lifetime Service Award to Lynn Ozer for her 45 years of service to the SBA 7(a) lending industry.

The Lifetime Service Award is given to individuals who have dedicated their careers to the SBA 7(a) program and to the work of the National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders (NAGGL); an award only presented three times in the Association’s history. 

Most notably, Ozer served as the Association’s first Board of Director’s Chairwoman from 2012-2014 and as a NAGGL instructor for nearly two decades.  

Previous to this award, Ozer received the Distinguished Service Award in 2005; Volunteer of the Year 2008; Instructor of the Year in 2018.

She currently serves on the Board of Directors, Advisory Committee, and co-chair of the Association’s Technical Issues Committee.
