I just wanted to follow-up to my previous blog and let everyone know that it is official - Don Graves has accepted a position with the Treasury Department as a Policy Advisor. Position responsibilities include Job Creation, Small Business Development and Entrepreneurship, Economic Development, Community Development, Financial Stability, and Financial Education. Don Graves, Formally Progress Through Business CEO, has taken a leave of absence from Progress in order to concentrate fully on the important priorites of this new position. We congratulate him and wish him great success.

This is exciting news for Progress. We expect to know shortly if one of our members is to become a Policy Advisor in the Treasury Department. Just the fact that a member is being considered is really significant. Position responsibilities would include Job Creation, Small Business Development and Entrepreneurship, Economic Development, Community Development, Financial Stability, and Financial Education. Once we know the outcome we will post it on our blog along with the details.
