Welcome Letter U.S. Small Business Administration Washington, DC To the Community of Business Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Innovators, President Obama calls entrepreneurship the greatest force the world has ever known for lifting people out of poverty and promoting social mobility. Amen, Mr. President. Every year since 1963, the President has signed a proclamation designating National Small Business Week. It is time to ensure our entrepreneurs know the services SBA offers. It doesn’t matter if you run a restaurant, a retailer, an E-commerce website, or the next big thing in tech, the SBA is here for you. In support of this year’s theme “Dream Big, Start Small,” we salute the small business owners who risk so much every day to generate jobs and create a better future for themselves and their families. At events in Florida, California, Texas, New York and Washington, D.C, we’ll shine the spotlight on entrepreneurs who realized their dreams with the help of SBA programs.
