Eric A. Ulrich was born at Jamaica Hospital and raised in the Ozone Park section of Queens. He attended neighborhood public and parochial schools, P.S. 63 (Old South) and the former Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary School respectively. In high school, he contemplated becoming a catholic priest, but after graduating from Cathedral Prep Seminary, Ulrich became active in local civics and discovered that politics could also be a vehicle for social change.

Ulrich is the first member of his family to earn a college degree. Thanks in part to the generosity of the Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn, Ulrich studied political science on a full scholarship and graduated from St. Francis College in 2007.

On February 24th 2009, Ulrich was elected to the City Council in a non-partisan Special Election. He quickly established a reputation as an honest, outspoken and independent voice at City Hall. Following his re-election in November of 2009, Ulrich implemented an aggressive quality-of-life agenda, targeting graffiti vandalism and illegal dumping on city streets. His legislative record includes six consecutive on-time balanced budgets and several bills, which have brought greater accountability to city government.

Ulrich has also been a strong advocate for Superstorm Sandy victims, delivering rapid relief and resources following the storm and helping cut through the bureaucratic red-tape on behalf of his constituents who are still struggling to rebuild their homes.
Citizens Union, a nonpartisan good government group, recognized Ulrich “because of his motivated effort to create meaningful improvements in the district and [his] potential to bring new and fresh ideas to the council.” He was also one of the first Council Members to introduce Participatory Budgeting in his district to enhance greater civic engagement and leadership in the city’s budget process.

In 2015, as Chairman of the Committee on Veterans, Councilman Ulrich was the key driving force behind the legislation that created the city’s new Department of Veterans Services (DVS). Recognizing the need to better serve New York City’s more than 210,000 veterans and their families, DVS – formerly the Mayor’s Office of Veteran’s Affairs (MOVA) – strives to improve the lives of all veterans and their families, regardless of discharge status.
Councilman Ulrich currently sits on the New York City Council’s Civil Service & Labor Committee, the Education Committee, the Environmental Protection Committee, the Justice System Committee, the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Technology Committee.

The United States Small Business Administration (SBA) appointed Beth Goldberg District Director of the New York District Office on January 26, 2015. Ms. Goldberg joined SBA after more than 30 years as an accomplished entrepreneur and an executive leader with invaluable experience in both the private and government sectors.

In her role as District Director, Ms. Goldberg oversees the delivery and efficiency of SBA’s programs and services to 1.6 million small businesses employing 5 million people with an annual payroll of $330 billion—this is the largest of all SBA’s 68 geographically-distributed District Offices across the country. In FY 2017, for the first time ever, Ms. Goldberg guided the New York District past $1 billion in SBA lending. This marked a 15 percent increase in dollar volume over the previous year, and a 37 percent increase in the number of loans during the same time. Also during this time period, the New York SBA office guaranteed more small business loans than any other SBA District in the country.

Before joining the federal government, Ms. Goldberg ran Auric Ventures, Ltd., a boutique consulting firm that provided strategic planning services to international, national and local organizations, facilitating the relationship between corporate America and government.

Prior, Ms. Goldberg served as Director of Finance and Development and later as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation (BEDC). Ms. Goldberg participated in the structuring of several billions of dollars of commercial and industrial development, including real estate, leveraged buy-outs, and mergers and acquisitions. During her tenure at BEDC, the President of the Borough of Brooklyn, the Mayor of the City of New York and the Governor of the State of New York all looked to Ms. Goldberg for her expertise and leadership on economic development matters.

Because of her diverse experience in finance and economic development, Ms. Goldberg has been called upon by U.S. and foreign-based organizations to assess and evaluate economic incentive and investment programs. She has served on the Board of Directors of various non-profit organizations.

Ms. Goldberg earned a Master’s of Science in Social Work, with a specialization in Industrial Social Welfare from Columbia University, and a Bachelor of Science with a dual major in Psychology and Political Science from Brooklyn College.

The daughter of trade magazine publishers, Ms. Goldberg is married and has two children.
