National Small Business Week is May 5th-11th! For over 50 years, this week has been set aside by a presidential proclamation to recognize the many contributions of small businesses and entrepreneurs. The Small Business Association will kick off the week with a live stream on their Facebook page, May 5th.
Throughout the week there are several training opportunities available. The live-stream workshops will begin May 5th; industry experts will cover digital commerce and the current social media best practices. Then on May 7th-8th, the SBA and the SCORE association will host a virtual conference; you must register at www.sba.gov/nsbw. The conference webinars will cover topics such as Making Sense of Online Marketing, Mastering Control of Your Cash Flow and How to do Business with the Federal Government. Last but not least, a NSBW Twitter Chat is scheduled for May 10th—SBA will be sharing tips and tricks to help you start and/or grow your small business.
And did I mention all of this training is free?
Small business is truly big business because of the large impact they have on our economy. Fifty percent of Americans own or work for a small business and two of every three new jobs are created by a small business. So let us celebrate those that take the risk to build their own business and be grateful for they are the backbone of our local community.
