In connection with the previously announced 44th Annual Small Business Forum on April 10 (with options to participate in-person or virtually), the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation is asking the public to register in advance and submit suggestions ahead of the Forum. Public input will help shape the capital-raising policy recommendations that the Office will deliver to the Commission and to Congress. Here’s the process detailed in the Office’s outreach email:

– Submit your policy recommendations ahead of the Forum via our submission portal. This allows you time to be thoughtful with your recommendations and allows all voices to be heard.

– We will compile the recommendations from all participants and share at the live event.

– We will reserve time at the end of the event to allow in-person attendees to address the audience briefly to discuss any recommendations submitted. Following this discussion, the recommendations will be opened for voting via our online polling for all participants (including those via webcast).

– Voting allows you to rank the policy recommendations based on what you think is a priority for the Commission and Congress.

– After the event, a report will be delivered to Congress highlighting the event’s discussions and the prioritized policy recommendations, based on participant voting.

If you’d like to submit a recommendation (or two or three), the submission portal is open until April 9.
