                       Wednesday, March 11, 2020

  Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Greta Johansson for her service as the Director of the New Hampshire 
office of the United States Small Business Administration (SBA).
  Greta retires after 38 years of dedicated service to our nation's 
small businesses. Throughout her career, she has distinguished herself 
as a true leader in small business development and finance in the 
Granite State. Greta started her career with the SBA's Disaster 
Assistance office providing critical support to businesses that 
experienced natural disasters. She subsequently went on to serve in a 
key role in the Connecticut District Office as Deputy District Director 
for more than 14 years. Since 2011, Greta has led the New Hampshire 
District Office of the SBA. In her current role she has led the 
office's delivery of SBA programs and services throughout New 
Hampshire, working with lenders, resources partners, and economic 
development entities to foster entrepreneurship and business growth. 
Greta has distinguished herself as true leader in the Granite State 
business community and the positive impact she made will be seen for 
many years to come.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's Second Congressional 
District, I commend Greta Johansson for her service in supporting the 
Granite State's small business and entrepreneurs. I look forward to our 
continued work together to support the small business community.
