Nancy Porzio has been selected as the new District Director for the SBA Alaska District Office. Nancy is one of the most experienced district directors in the country; and, an ideal fit for this position for three reasons: (1) her nearly 30 years of experience working for SBA, 15 of which she has led several districts as director, (2) she knows and understands the Alaska market having started her career in Anchorage working for a community bank and later for the SBA Alaska District Office, and (3) she is well versed in the current challenges the Alaska District Office faces and has created a plan to address these issues. We wish Sam Dickey a fond farewell and the best for what’s ahead.
