ACVBA to serve as an independent source of advice and policy
recommendations on veteran owned small business opportunities. Through
an annual report, the ACVBA reports to the SBA Administrator, SBA's
Associate Administrator for Veterans Business Development, the
Congress, the President, and other U.S. policy makers. The ACVBA is
comprised of 15 members--eight members represent veteran owned small
business and seven members represent veteran service or military
organizations.
On Aug. 13, 2014, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
published in the Federal Register revised guidance on individuals who
are not eligible to serve on federal advisory committees. In accordance
with OMB guidance, the President directed agencies and departments in
the Executive Branch not to appoint or re-appoint federally registered
lobbyists to advisory committees and other boards and commissions.
Learn more about the ACVBA by reviewing the ACVBA charter at Advisory
Committee on Veterans Business Affairs.
