\"Champion<\/a>

44 Partners: \u00a0Phil Rapone, Jeff Sherry, Joe Dreyer, and Greg Poehlmann receive the NAGGL Champion of Veterans Small Business Lending Award in San Antonio TX.<\/p><\/div>\n

So this happened recently – and we couldn’t be more proud. We were recognized at the NAGGL (National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders) mid-year conference as Champions of Veterans Small Business Lending.<\/strong> During the San Antonio,TX conference, my partners and I received the award presented by Richard Bradshaw, President of Specialized Lending at United Community Bank and the co-chair of NAGGL\u2019s Public Policy Committee. The Veteran Access initiative highlights the commitment of NAGGL members to providing veteran business owners with critical access to capital. The competition was judged on:
\n1. Evidence of increased business opportunities for veterans as a result of the nominee\u2019s actions.
\n2. Advisory activities to improve awareness of small business ownership opportunities among veterans\u2019 groups.
\n3. Advocacy of special consideration for veteran-owned small businesses in government policy making.
\n4. Other accomplishments demonstrating the nominee\u2019s effective advocacy of veteran-owned small businesses.<\/p>\n

44 Business Capital continues to drive home SBA’s mission of giving access to capital to under-served markets like Veterans and minorities.The 44 leadership team believes that when it comes to Vets, we should \u201crisk a little more for those that risked it all\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
