Lenders Round Table

Columbia Gorge Lenders Round Table

This panel of lenders will be discussing the wide range of financing options available to small businesses. We will cover traditional lending programs, lines of credit, and SBA lending tools among other types of lending programs. We will also be discussing pre-venture and gap financing for businesses unable to access traditional capital. Attendees will learn about both capital access and what resources and programs are available to them, and also how to best evaluate, prepare for and apply to different loans and programs specific to small businesses.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about their specific needs and applications and get connected to resources needed to support them in accessing capital.

This panel will include:

Anna Shapiro, Outreach and Marketing Specialist from the Small Business Administration

Ami Beaver, Loan Fund Manager from the Mid-Columbia Economic Development District

Tonia Frazier, Branch Manager and Loan Officer from Washington Federal

Dillon Borton, VP Senior Business Banking Relationship Manager from Key Bank

Evan Heriot, VP Senior Loan Officer Northwest Business Development Association (NWBDA)

Facilitated by Gregory Price, Director of the CGCC Small Business Development Center

This panel discussion will be held at the CGCC campus in The Dalles in Lecture Hall, Building Two, Room 2.384
