National Small Business Week Nominations

The SBA’s Western Pennsylvania District Office is seeking nominations from small business entrepreneurs and support personnel who are helping to ramp up the region’s economy. National Small Business Week happens in the spring (May 20-26, 2012), but nominations are being accepted now.

For the past 48 years, the SBA has set aside a week to honor the nation’s small business owners and advocates. Awards ceremonies, held on both local and national levels, are an ideal way for community leaders to recognize small business owners who often are touted as the backbone of the nation’s economy.

For more information on the nomination process, including all necessary forms, please contact Janet Heyl of the Western Pennsylvania SBA District Office at 412-395-6560, ext. 103 or by email at janet.heyl@sba.gov. Nominators also can visit the SBA’s National Small Business Week website at www.nationalsmallbusinessweek.com.
