The district director of San Diego’s U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) office, Ruben Garcia, has signed a strategic alliance with Bayview Community Development Corporation (Bayview CDC) to create entrepreneurial opportunities for persons served by the organization.

Bayview CDC provides housing, economic development, employment and mentoring services to low-income residents and neighborhoods. Bayview CDC Executive Director Jerry Robinson and Bayview’s chairman,

Pastor Timothy J. Winters, signed the agreement with SBA’s Garcia.

The signed agreement is expected to allow SBA and Bayview CDC to work together to improve business access to technological information through educational opportunities and SBA resources, and provide maximum financial opportunities and training to entrepreneurs. Bayview CDC is a non-profit 501 C (3) organization with the focus of economic empowerment for minority-owned businesses to play an increasing role in the economy of San Diego County through advocacy, networking, training and other resources.

“I’m very pleased with the accomplishment of Bayview CDC and its excellent leadership through Jerry Robinson and Pastor Timothy Winters,” said Garcia. “They have a strong background of helping entrepreneurs take their place as business owners and I know they will do a great job of assisting current and potential owners with solutions to their dreams of small business success.”


The collaboration between the SBA and Bayview CDC is building a strong foundation for the future. “Having the SBA of San Diego as a Strategic Alliance partner only enhances an already strong foundation of services this organization provides to its clients,” said Robinson. “In a nutshell, our organization is geared primarily to provide solutions, the ‘know-how’ and guidance to small business owners interested in penetrating highly profitable markets with the least amount of effort and expense.”
