Happy National Small Business Week!
06/20/2013 — Scott Frederick
Since many PartnerShip customers are small businesses, we'd like to take a moment to join the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in recognizing and honoring small businesses across America. 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. Small businesses are clearly the backbone of the U.S. economy and this week they will be celebrated through this great U.S. SBA program.
Every year since 1963, the U.S. SBA takes the opportunity to highlight through National Small Business Week the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S. territories. This year's events are being held June 16-21, in Seattle, Dallas, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. offering tips, tools and trainings for small businesses to start, succeed and grow.
In addition to in-person events, small business owners can participate in online-only panel discussions on hot topics like social media and business financing starting daily at 4pm ET. All events, in-person and online, will be streamed live on www.sba.gov/smallbusinessweek. Also visit this site for a full schedule of events and additional information. The event hashtag is #SBW2013.
Included below is a short promotional video with more details on the event (as posted to the U.S. SBA YouTube Channel in March):
