A key aspect of the CDC industry is our dependence on the federal government to operate and deliver 504, Community Advantage, and other SBA programs. We are honored to engage with the staff and members of the Small Business Committees each year during our Spring Summit. This year, we anticipate the latest staff updates, including election year dynamics and small business priorities. Join us for breakfast, engaging conversations, and get your pressing questions answered!


Your Hill visits make a difference.

Your voice amplifies NADCO’s government relations efforts and gives you an opportunity to connect with senators and representatives that represent you and let them know first-hand the impact CDCs have in their communities.
