This form asks attendees to evaluate events which the Small Business Administration puts on cooperatively with other entities and comment on the sorts of events it wishes to have. It also asks those attendees for demographic information. The responses will help SBA stage better and more responsive events, and let the Agency know what demographic groups it is failing to serve. Information will be forwarded to SBA's Office of Strategic Alliances, which will then craft events which are responsive to the feedback.
