SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the National 
Women's Business Council (NWBC) announces its first public meeting of

the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) on issues of importance to 
women entrepreneurs. This meeting will allow the Council to recap its 
activity and engagement over the course of Fiscal Year 2021. Each of 
the Council's three subcommittees (Access to Capital & Opportunity, 
Women in STEM and Rural Women's Entrepreneurship) will present their 
policy recommendations and current projects to the full body for 
deliberation. The public will have the opportunity to provide feedback.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on Monday, October 25, 2021, 
from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT.
