Abilene, TX, April 27, 2018 – Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.
More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.
As part of National Small Business Week, the Abilene Chamber of Commerce would like to take the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs and small business owners across the Big Country. Every day, they’re working to grow small businesses, create 21st-century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness.
The Abilene Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce its activities for SMALL BUSINESS WEEK 2018.
