Administrator's Bio

The mission of the Rural Business-Cooperative Service is "to enhance the quality of life for rural Americans by providing leadership in building competitive businesses including sustainable cooperatives that can prosper in the global marketplace."

We meet these goals by:
  • investing financial resources and providing technical assistance to businesses and cooperatives located in rural communities;

  • establishing strategic alliances and partnerships that leverage public, private, and cooperative resources to create jobs and stimulate rural economic activity.
