President Donald Trump taps Georgia native, Ashley D. Bell as the next Small Business Administration (SBA) Southeast Regional Director. Bell, Trump's first minority appointment to a SBA regional position, will be sworn in Monday, February 26 at 2 p.m.

Bell, a former Georgia politician, will serve as one of ten regional directors. He will lead eight states; Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee in ensuring small businesses are thriving.

"The SBA plays a critical role in helping to start and grow businesses," says Bell. "Now, more than ever, the economy is growing and we must do our part to help America's small businesses."

"I've enjoyed my time serving our country in foreign affairs the last year with both the State Dept. and at the Peace Corps," says Bell.
