Toni has 25 years of experience in reducing unnecessary government regulations as well as developing strategic plans and marketing strategies for Fortune 500 Corporations, small businesses, and new ventures. She has owned and operated two restaurants. Toni spent two years as the VP of Marketing of a senior housing corporation. Toni has bridged the gap between business and government and understands the need to reduce and to simplify regulations.

Most recently, Casey was appointed by President Bush as the Director of Intergovernmental Affairs at the U.S. Small Business Administration. As Director, she was responsible for working with governors, mayors, small business owners and community leaders to develop partnerships aimed at improving the business climate and at creating capital access for small businesses.

Before joining the SBA, Casey provided business-development leadership and consultation to start-up companies.
