About America East

America East provides training for all levels and roles in SBA lending. Speakers from SBA headquarters, SBA servicing offices and industry professionals present relevant and timely updates across all aspects of the SBA 7(a) and 504 lending process in both general and breakout sessions. From origination to liquidation, audit and everything in between, we commit to providing in-depth updates and training to your entire staff.

In the past, speakers from SBA headquarters have included SBA Chief of Staff, Associate Administrator for the Office of Capital Access, 504 Policy & Program Chief, 7(a) Policy & Program Chief, Director of the Office of Financial Assistance, and Director of the Office of Credit Risk Management, among others.
