NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK

Every year the President of the United States has proclaimed National Small Business Week to recognize the contributions of small business to the economic well being of America.  In 2010 National Small Business Week will honor the estimated 27.2 million small businesses in America.  Small businesses are major contributors to the strength of the American economy.  More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business.  They also create 60-80 percent of new jobs in the country.  Small businesses drive innovation, create 21st century jobs and increase U.S. competitiveness. 

The conference will be held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Conference Center in Washington, DC May 23 – 25.   If you can’t be there in person, some events will be webcast live! For more information visit the web site  www.nationalsmallbusinessweek.com
