National ACE Supports the Swift Confirmation of Mr. Dilawar Syed

The National Asian Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce (National ACE) urges the Senate to swiftly confirm Mr. Dilawar Syed to serve as the Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Mr. Syed has extensive experience and expertise at the federal, state, and local levels in addition to his own personal experience as an entrepreneur. Furthermore, if confirmed, Mr. Syed would be one of several Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) leaders within the Administration, and his experience as the chair of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI) provides him with critical insights on addressing the needs of AAPI entrepreneurs. 

National ACE supports Mr. Syed’s nomination to fill this critical role within SBA leadership to ensure that the Administration can best serve America's small businesses at a time when many face uncertain economic conditions and recover from the pandemic.
