Kanatsiz's two-year term will end in March of 2008. "It is an honor to be a Presidential appointee," said Kanatsiz. "The issues I’m most passionate about include family, education and technology. As a member of the SBA, I look forward to supporting programs that are in line with my personal and professional philosophies." "Sinan is the perfect individual for this position.
