SETEDF and SBAlliance Capital would like to thank everyone that attended our annual meeting on Friday, December 9th. We had a record crowd and we truly appreciate the support that is shown for the Foundation and SBAlliance. The annual meeting was held at Pappadeaux's with a luncheon with over 70 guests. Included were representatives from the Small Business Administration Houston District office and the business partners who assist us with our 504 loan program, Scott Atckinson with Statesman Business Advisors and the Eric Hird with the Hird Law Firm. Recognition was given to the Snider Law Firm for their assistance to the foundation. SB Alliance completed 6 loans during the recognition period naming Wayne Holland with Community Bank of Texas as the Lender of the Year. Third Coast Bank was recognized for largest loan volume and Scott Adams for the largest single SBA Loan.
