2009 SMALL BUSINESS PERSON OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS
In recognition of the small business community’s contribution to the American economy and society, the President of the United States designates one week each year as National Small Business Week. Small Business Week 2009 will be celebrated the week of May 17. Leading up to the National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), often in conjunction with public- and private-sector small business supporters, will host special events at the local and state levels to honor and present awards to the nation’s entrepreneurs and those who support and champion small business. Many of the award winners from those local and state events will be invited to Washington, D.C. for SBW ‘09 — celebrating National Small Business Week.
South Carolina also holds a Salute to Small Business event each year to showcase and recognize the 2009 Small Business Person of the Year. The SBA is asking for assistance in finding and nominating candidates for the award. Please take time over the coming weeks to identify outstanding small companies in your district and to champion them through this nomination process. Through your support of the finest candidates in your region, you will be helping our national recognition efforts immensely.
Visit the Small Business Administration’s Web site for more information or contact Chuck Bundy.
