PORTLAND — The Small Business Administration says it will continue its e200 Emerging Leaders’ executive-level training initiative for small business entrepreneurs in the Portland-Vancouver area, with an expansion to include Native American business owners.

Since its inception, e200 has identified business owners across the country who show a high potential for growth in under-served markets — and provided them with the training, networking, resources and motivation required to expand operations and create jobs.

The newest round of classes begins April 13. Interested applicants in Oregon and Southwest Washington should contact the SBA’s Portland office at 503-326-2682 or by e-mail at sylvia.gerke@sba.gov or barbara.allen@sba.gov.
