Celebrating America's
Entrepreneurs
EVERY YEAR SINCE 1963,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES HAS
ISSUED A PROCLAMATION
ANNOUNCING NATIONAL
SMALL BUSINESS WEEK,
WHICH RECOGNIZES THE
CRITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
OF AMERICA’S
ENTREPRENEURS & SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS.
More than half of Americans either own or work
for a small business, and they create about two
out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.
As part of National Small Business Week,
the U.S. Small Business Administration takes
the opportunity to highlight the impact of
outstanding entrepreneurs, small business
owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S.
territories. Every day, they’re working to grow
small businesses, create 21st century jobs,
drive innovation, and increase America’s global
competitiveness.
The important role that Small Businesses play
in building and maintaining a thriving economy
is expected to remain constant throughout the
Twenty-first century.
Our Nation’s economic health rests in the hands
of Small Businessmen and Women with bold ideas
and the perseverance to keep the Small Business
community growing, prospering, and looking
toward the future.
