National Small Business Week June 17th - Jime 21st
Recognizing the contributions of America’s entrepreneurs & small business owners.
Small business creates about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year. And we need jobs!
The US Small Business Administration is putting on many events around the US;
many are live streamed if one is not in your area.
This year the Portland District Office will honor Oregon's award winners at a lunch on May 20. Roughly 97.6% of the employers in Oregon are small business owners representing more than 335,000 small businesses. Their hard work and dedication deserves our recognition and gratitude, especially on this one day a year. Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber will be addressing the attendees and aiding in the presentation of the Small Business Person of the Year award. Additional small business awards include: Small Business Person of the Year, Small Business Exporter of the Year, 8(a) Graduate of the Year, Family-Owned Business of the Year, Director’s Impact Award, Director’s Rising Star Award, and Director’s Entrepreneurial Spirit Award. The event also recognizes leading SBA Lenders who provide the capital small businesses need to grow and succeed. Here in the Portland District, we’ve had back to back record years of lending following the Recession. In fiscal year 2012, these lenders delivered $428.7 million in supported loans, eclipsing the previous record year of $391.7 million in supported loans. The lender awardees are representative of the more than 60 qualified lenders in Oregon.
