President Barack Obama's National Small Business Week Message
Purpose of Event
In 1963, then President of the United States of America, John F. Kennedy, issued a proclamation for the celebration of National Small Business Week to honor the nation’s small business owners and entrepreneurs. National Small Business Week has been celebrated each year since its adoption in 1963, ten years following the establishment of the Small Business Administration, which was created by the Small Business Act on July 30, 1953.
We salute our nation's small business owners, hard working visionaries who create over 80% of all jobs in America, which drives the economic engine of our country. Your achievements are recognized and greatly appreciated.
