Washington, DC – Alan Pentz, CEO of Corner Alliance, was recently elected to serve on the Board of Trustees for the National Small Business Association (NSBA). NSBA is the nation’s oldest small-business advocacy organization, and operates on a staunchly nonpartisan basis. Pentz, a recognized leader in the small-business community, joins other small-business advocates from across the country as they work to promote the interests of small business to policymakers in Washington, D.C.

“Small business is crucial to the economic competitiveness of our country,” stated Pentz, “Technologies like 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things will require a strong small business voice and my goal is to work with NSBA to make that voice heard.”

Pentz has worked with government leaders in the R&D and innovation communities across DHS, Commerce, NIH, state and local government, and the non-profit sector among others. He has worked in the consulting industry for over seventeen years with Corner Alliance, SRA, Touchstone Consulting, and Witt O'Brien's. Before consulting, Alan served as a speechwriter and press secretary for former U.S. Senator Max Baucus and as a legislative assistant for former U.S. Representative Paul Kanjorski. He holds an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin.

Pentz has been active with NSBA for several years and has been an exemplary representative of small business issues in the DC area. In addition to the leadership role with NSBA, Pentz is active in various local and regional organizations and has been an outspoken advocate for small-business issues with his elected officials.

Pentz joins a diverse group of small-business leaders on the NSBA 2020 Board, led by long-time advocate Marc Amato of Walco Electric Company in Providence, Rhode Island. 

“I am proud to work with such an exemplary group of leaders who have made small-business advocacy a top priority,” stated NSBA Chair Marc Amato. “Alan Pentz came to us highly recommended and I look forward to his activism and leadership for years to come.”
