The U.S. Small Business Administration’s national ombudsman will be at the University of Southern Maine on Monday to host a forum for small business owners, representatives of local economic development organizations and trade groups.
SBA ombudsman Brian Castro will lead the forum on federal regulatory issues dealing with small businesses on Monday at 9 a.m. in Room 102 of USM’s Wishcamper Center at 34 Bedford St.
Attendees will have a chance to voice their concerns about federal business regulations that Castro said, in a prepared statement, are sometimes written with major corporations in mind.
Comments from the forum will be directed to a federal agency charged with evaluating regulatory fairness.
