SBA Awards: Make a Big Deal Out of Small Business

It’s time for community leaders to make a big deal out of local small business owners and perhaps catapult them to center stage in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) annual awards program designed to honor entrepreneurial excellence.

This spring, the SBA will set aside a day -- National Small Business Day – to honor the nation’s top small business owners. In Western Pennsylvania, the SBA will set aside three days to laud the region’s Small Business Person of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Exporter of the Year.

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 email janet.heyl@sba.gov or learn more online at: http://nationalsmallbusinessweek.sba.gov/user.
