National Small Business Week Proclamation
May 1 – 7, 2022
WHEREAS, America’s progress has been driven by pioneers who think big, take risks and work hard; and
WHEREAS, from the storefront shops that anchor Main Street to the high-tech startups that keep America on the cutting edge, small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the cornerstones of our nation’s promise; and
WHEREAS, small business owners and Main Street businesses have energy and a passion for what they do; and
WHEREAS, when we support small business, jobs are created, and local communities preserve their unique culture; and
WHEREAS, because this country’s 28 million small businesses create nearly two out of three jobs in our economy, we cannot resolve ourselves to create jobs and spur economic growth in America without discussing ways to support our entrepreneurs; and
WHEREAS, the President of the United State has proclaimed National Small Business Week every year since 1963 to highlight the programs and services available to entrepreneurs through the U.S. Small Business Administration and other government agencies; and
WHEREAS, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Inc. supports and joins in this national effort to help America’s small businesses do what they do best – grow their business, create jobs, and ensure that our communities remain as vibrant tomorrow as they are today;
