The New York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS) launched the nomination period for the Small Business Advisory commission which will be open from now until July 29, 2022.
Mayor Eric Adams established the commission with his Executive Order 15, part of his larger “Rebuild, Renew, Reinvent: A Blueprint for New York City Economic Recovery” which aimed to stimulate the city economy which was harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chaired by SBS Commissioner Kevin D. Kim, the commission will consist of at least 30 members, all of whom will be appointed by the mayor.
“New York City’s small business owners are experts in their fields. They know better than anyone else how the city can speed up our economic recovery,” said Kevin D. Kim, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Small Business Services on July 7. “With the Small Business Advisory Commission, we are harnessing the power of small businesses across the city by making sure they have a seat at the table to move our recovery forward.”
