Local Business Owner Angela V. Carlington Named to NSBA Leadership Council

NORMAN, OKLAHOMA – ANGELA V. CARLINGTON, PCD CONSULTING, was recently named to the National Small Business Association (NSBA) Leadership Council. NSBA is the nation’s oldest small-business advocacy organization and operates on a staunchly nonpartisan basis. Mrs. Carlington, a recognized leader in the small-business community, joins the NSBA Leadership Council alongside other small-business advocates from across the country as they work to promote the interests of small business to policymakers in Washington, D.C.

“As a small-business owner of Professional and Community Development Consulting (PCD), I see daily the importance of being involved and active when it comes to laws and regulation,” stated Mrs. Carlington. “Joining NSBA’s Leadership Council will enable me to take our collective small-business message to the people that need to hear it most: Congress.”
“As with most business owners, I wear many hats. I've had the honor of serving our country for 26 years, retiring from the Air Force as an officer (Major) in 2015. I’m an aspiring author, having written a book shortly after retiring. I’m committed to creating a movement where more people are empowered with tools needed to solve issues that trouble them personally and professionally. Experience has shown that unresolved personal issues become societies issues.”

Mrs. Carlington joined the NSBA Leadership Council as part of ongoing efforts to tackle the many critical issues facing small business, including tax reform, regulatory restraint, health care costs and how access to capital will impact small business. The NSBA Leadership Council is focused on providing valuable networking between small-business advocates from across the country while ensuring small business a seat at the table as Congress and regulators take up key small-business proposals.

“I am proud to have Angela Carlington as part of our Leadership Council,” stated NSBA President and CEO Todd McCracken. “She came to us highly recommended, and I look forward our coordinated efforts for years to come.”
