Submitted by the U.S. Small Business Administration

Little Rock, AR– For more than 51 years, 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.

Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that registration for its 2022 National Small Business Week Virtual Summit, “Building a Better America Through Entrepreneurship,” is now open. This year’s National Small Business Week (NSBW), held May 1-7, 2022, will acknowledge small businesses from across the country for their resilience, ingenuity, and creativity. It will also recognize SBA partners for their involvement in entrepreneurial development, disaster recovery, government contracting, financial development, and overall support for small businesses and entrepreneurship.    

During National Small Business Week, the SBA will hold its NSBW Virtual Summit from May 2-5, 2022, in cosponsorship with SCORE. Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required. Visit online at www.sba.gov/NSBW to register.  

“The SBA Arkansas District Office received multiple nominations from across the state and we look forward to honoring their successes during National Small Business Week 2022,” said Edward Haddock, SBA Arkansas’ District Director. “We will be announcing the winners of our five local award categories, our Resource Partner awardees, and the 2022 Arkansas Small Business Person of the Year, who will compete nationally against winners from each state, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for SBA’s signature award: the 2022 National Small Business Person of the Year. Join us as we celebrate business owners in your local community who have proven flexibility and tenacity in an unprecedented economic market.”

This year’s NSBW virtual summit will feature access to federal resources, educational workshops, and networking to help our nation’s 32.5 million small businesses pivot, grow, and seize new opportunities. NSBW will offer entrepreneurs across America in rural, suburban, and urban communities, tools, information, and access to resources to help them achieve the American dream of business ownership and success.
