28
Million Businesses Strong & Growing
A Special Message from SBA Administrator Karen
Mills
It’s that time of year again! Today, SBA joins the
entire Obama Administration in wishing a very happy National Small Business Week
to the more than 28 million American small businesses, their employees and the
people they serve! National Small Business Week is a public-private partnership
to honor small businesses from communities across America.
Small businesses all over the country continue to thrive,
driving the national recovery and creating an American economy built to last.
Building on that momentum, President Obama and I visited Taylor Gourmet, a local
small business in Washington, to discuss his “to do” list for Congress to create
jobs and help restore middle class security last week and kick-off National
Small Business Week.
Today's
webcast begins at 3 p.m. EDT
