「국회 소상공인정책포럼」은 소상공인·자영업자들의 현안을 듣고 문제점을 분석 후 실질적인 도움을 주는 정책을 연구하는 모임이다. 최고 권위의 '대한민국 의정대상'(6개 단체 수상)을 3년간(2022~2024) 연속으로 수상했다. 「국회 소상공인정책포럼」은 그동안 직능경제인단체총연합회와 전국소상공인연합회와 함께 수십 차례의 토론회와 간담회를 진행하면서 현장의 의견을 들었다.

또한, ‘지역 화폐 필요성에 대한 분석’, ‘국민과 소상공인의 체감경제 상황 조사’등 실질적이고 필요한 연구 활동을 해왔고, 제정법인‘온라인플랫폼 공정화법’을 비롯해, 개정법인 골목 상권 지원 강화법(골목상권 지원법), 온누리상품권 이용 촉진법(전통시장 육성법), 재난지원금 지원법(재난안전관리 기본법), 장애인소기업 자금 지원법(소상공인 보호법), 가맹점 사업자 범죄 예방 및 안전조치법(가맹사업법) 등 소상공인을 위한 법안들을 추진했다.

22대 「국회 소상공인정책포럼」은 「국회 소상공인과 민생경제포럼」으로 이름을 변경해 온라인 플랫폼을 둘러싼 불공정 개선과 오프라인 시장 살리기 등 산적해 있는 업종별·현장별 문제들을 해결하는 데 앞장설 예정이다.

서영교 의원은, “오늘 의정대상을 수상하여 21대 국회에서 총 6개의 국회 의정대상을 수상하게 되었다. 어느덧 최고 권위의 의정대상을 4년 안에 이렇게 많이 받으니 놀랍고 기쁘다. 그만큼 더 잘해야겠다는 책임감도 든다.”며, “현재 어려운 경제 상황 속에서 우리 경제의 버팀목은 바로 소상공인·자영업자분들이다. 이분들이 고통을 이겨내고 위기를 극복해낼 수 있도록 22대 국회에서도 더욱 노력하겠다.”고 소감을 밝혔다.
