Jared Huckaby, Huckaby Properties, was recently named to the National Small Business Association Leadership Council, according to an NSBA press release.

NSBA is the nation’s oldest small-business advocacy organization, and operates on a staunchly nonpartisan basis.

Huckaby, 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, I see daily the importance of being involved and active when it comes to laws and regulation,” stated Huckaby. “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.”

Huckaby was born and raised in Thomaston and alongside his wife, Elizabeth, has a broad range of small businesses that serve Georgia and clients around the world. His experience spans single and multi-family property rental, short-term rentals, historic preservation and restoration, restaurants, and retail stores, as well as companies in the technology sector.

Huckaby joined the NSBA Leadership Council as part of his 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 Jared as part of our Leadership Council,” stated NSBA president and CEO Todd McCracken. “He came to us highly recommended, and I look forward our coordinated efforts for years to come.”
