Hafa Adai! We have been asked by several members to arrange for in-person meetings and events. We would absolutely love to be able to do this! However, there are pandemic restrictions still in place that prohibit large business and social gatherings.
Our island has surpassed the goal to see 50% of our adult population vaccinated and we are well on our way to the final goal of 80% vaccination. We know that you have worked hard to get this point - We are almost there! Lets encourage our colleagues, family and friends to learn more about the benefits of vaccinations and help them make the right choice. It's time to get back to business.
We miss you and look forward to engaging with you in person very soon! Biba Guam!

U.S. Small Business Administration Updates |
|
May 18, 2021 Update from SBA
|
|
BEWARE OF MALICIOUS PHISHING
The SBA recently launched the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant and Restaurant Revitalization Fund. Bad actors may take this opportunity to impersonate lenders or government officials in emails, robocalls, social media accounts and phony websites. Their goal is to attract victims and commit fraud, scams and schemes. The result is financial or personally identifiable information (PII) loss for the victims.
As a reminder, the SBA directly communicates from email addresses ending in @sba.gov. The SBA also communicates via email updates/notifications using an email marketing platform. Those emails end in @updates.sba.gov.
If you applied for the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant and emailed the SVOG Support Center, you may receive an email back from a zendesk.com account. This is an authorized SBA contractor.
If you are being contacted by someone claiming to be from the SBA who is not using an official SBA email address, you should suspect fraud. To report potential fraud, visit sba.gov/covidfraudalert.
