About NSBA

NSBA is the leading voice for America's small-business community and entrepreneurs. Working to represent the needs of all of America’s small businesses, NSBA has advocated on behalf of America’s small-business owners since its inception in 1937.

The organization, operating on a strictly nonpartisan basis, reaches more than 150,000 small-business owners and has a long tradition of expertise in domestic and trade policy. NSBA is a uniquely member-driven organization in which our small-business members craft policy through caucusing, voting and monthly issue-based conference calls.

NSBA members testify before Congress and meet with White House and congressional officials to ensure that the needs of the small-business community are front-and-center in any debate that impacts small-businesses.

About Small Business Congress

Every two years, NSBA brings together our members at the NSBA Small Business Congress to discuss pertinent issues for small business and vote on the top priority issues for the upcoming session of Congress.

This year, the NSBA Small Business Congress was held in Washington, D.C. Feb. 23 – 25, 2011 at the L’Enfant Plaza Hotel.

Small Business Congress attendees networked with one another and discussed key small-business issues. Attendees heard from policy insiders and through discussion and debate, crafted proposed priorities for NSBA for the coming two years.

At the end of the 2011 Small Business Congress, attendees voted on which priorities would be the organization's Top Ten for the 112th Congress.
