Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the creativity, perserverance, and the important marketplace 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, Norcal SBDC wants to take the opportunity to highlight the impact of entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from all throughout the Norcal region. Small businesses like yours are forging a path to a better future, creating 21st century jobs, driving innovation, and increasing our state’s global competitiveness.
