SBA Hosts Virtual Event to Honor America’s Small Businesses
The U.S. Small Business Administration has rescheduled National Small Business Week for September 22 – 24, 2020. The virtual event, rescheduled from May due to the coronavirus pandemic, honors the nation’s small businesses, many of which are veteran, women and minority-owned, for their achievements and dedication to their communities.
This year’s National Small Business Week activities will include numerous educational panels providing retooling and innovative practices for entrepreneurs as our nation’s small businesses look to pivot and recover toward a stronger economy.
According to SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza, “This year, we will spotlight America’s outstanding small businesses and their stories of perseverance and their ability to pivot and overcome adversity. This event will also feature many educational forums that will inspire entrepreneurs around the country as they recover and sustain their operations.”
National Small Business Week will also recognize small business advocates for their involvement in disaster recovery, government contracting, and their support for small businesses and entrepreneurship. Awards will be presented to SBA partners in financial and entrepreneurial development, including top SCORE Chapter, Small Business Development Center, Women’s Business Center, and Veterans Business Outreach Center.
