Today, Monday, June 17, kicks off National Small Business Week in the US? Were you aware? Did you know?
Many didn’t. With this post, MyCity4Her Media is hoping to change that with this post.
According to the SBA Web site…
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 and 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 SBA is going to have some awesome events around the country. Some of them live and in person – some of them virtual. You can connect and hear from the likes of: Angie Hicks (founder of Angie’s List), Jack Dorsey (CEO Square), Gloria Pualani (Northrup Grumman), Lee Rhodes (founder of Glasybaby) and more.
