Stacey Bowers Appointed as Small Business Advocate
Last Friday, the SEC announced the appointment of University of Denver law prof Stacey Bowers as the new director of the SEC’s Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation (OASB). The announcement highlights her service on the SEC’s Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee this past year. As a reminder, the press release summarizes what the OASB is and what it does:
OASB is an independent office established in January 2019 to advance the interests of small businesses and their investors in the capital formation process. The office proactively works to identify and address unique capital formation challenges faced by small businesses, particularly those that are minority-owned or women-owned or located in rural or natural disaster areas.
