SBA Invites Submissions from the Public to Help Craft Open Government Plan

Now through March 19, 2010, the Small Business Administration is inviting submissions from the public on how they can be more transparent, participatory, and collaborative. In accordance with President Obama's Open Government Initiative, federal agencies are required to publish a plan, which incorporates public feedback, for becoming more open.

Your work with SBA and knowledge of agency programs make your ideas uniquely helpful for our plan. Some ideas already submitted include improving functionalities of our website, specific data like performance metrics, and participating in online communities.

 Please submit any ideas through our OpenSBA site.

Any questions can be directed to opengov@sba.gov.
