SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Emerging Leaders Initiative aims to
assist established small businesses
located in historically challenged
communities with increasing their
sustainability, attracting outside
investment, and strengthening each
community’s economic base by creating
jobs and providing valuable goods and
services. These objectives are pursued
by offering eligible business executives
a 7-month intensive course focused on
the skills essential to develop their
companies, expand their resource
networks, and increase their confidence
and motivation. The course is designed
to be hands-on and is composed of
classroom sessions, out-of-class
preparation work, and executive
mentoring groups where participants
can discuss their challenges. A broad
range of topics is covered in the
curriculum, including financial
measures of business health, strategies
for marketing, access to funding, and
employee management and recruitment.
SBA plans to conduct annual
performance-monitoring activities to
assess the short- and intermediate-term
outcomes of participants in the
Emerging Leaders Initiative. The broad
outcomes assessed will include
satisfaction, changes in management
behavior, and changes in economic
outcomes, such as loans obtained and
jobs created. Specifically, SBA plans to
implement three instruments with the
participants in each cohort: an intake
assessment form at the start of the
program to document baseline
conditions, a satisfaction-oriented
feedback form at the end of the program,
and an annual outcome-oriented survey
for 3 years after program completion.
The latter instrument will document
changes in key outcomes over a longer
period, because job growth, revenue
growth, profitability, and other
economic outcomes of program
participation are expected to manifest in
the intermediate and long terms.
Solicitation of Public Comments: SBA
is requesting comments on (a) Whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the agency to properly
perform its functions; (b) whether the
burden estimates are accurate; (c)
whether there are ways to minimize the
burden, including through the use of
automated techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (d) whether
there are ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information.
