The DOD Regional Councils for Small Business Education and Advocacy are a nationwide network of small business specialists organized to promote the National Small Business Programs of the United States.

The Councils' primary objective is to promote the National Small Business Programs to include small, historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small business concerns, small disadvantaged business concerns, women-owned small business concerns, service-disabled-veteran-owned small business concerns; and historically black colleges and universities, minority institutions and tribal colleges. Additional objectives include promoting the exchange of ideas and experiences, and general information among small business specialists and the contracting community; developing closer relationships and better communication among Government entities and the small business community; and staying abreast of statutes, policies regulations, directives, trends and technology affecting the Small Business Program.
