A few weeks ago, President Obama asked the U.S. Small Business Administration and Department of Treasury to convene 
a forum to discuss how we can best get credit flowing to small businesses to help them make it through this recessions,
and put them in a position to grow and create jobs.

The President called for this forum because he knows that small businesses are the backbone of our economy,
and that they’re driving our recovery.

SBA hosted the forum on Wednesday, November 18.
